Wow, the mountains of Gilan looks similar to those in Scandinavia..

The Bakhtiari tribe, are they of Indo European / Iranic descent?

I know there are an Arab (speaking) population in western Iran. I don´t think I´m the right person to make comments about the relations between Arabs and Persians/Iranians.. But is there an Arab-Persian mixture in (western) Iran?

And sorry, this was a bit offtopic..

Yes, they are basically southwestern Iranians.

It's true that there is Arab speaking population in southwest Iran and numerical estimates show their number to be around 1 -1.5 million, i think their contribution to Persian genome is nearly zero.
