I think we westerns have created an other category. Probably because when westerns went in those countries during the past centuries, they received the same impression.
How are they like? I think it's mainly because the difference in culture and art of the region. Like different eras in each country has brought a different influence on art and architecture :)
While this is true, Persian is not a Semitic or Arabic language, and good to know this for uninformed westerners, this line of thinking and overall attitude is very euro-centrist and colonialist in a way. In my travels in the middle east the most confused are those who think "we don't belong in this part of the world and have nothing to do with our neighbors", and think they should be attached to europe or america for some reason. Iran, Israel, Georgia, Armenia in general harbor this racist, wannabe approach and this lessens their self-confidence, self-awareness and relationship with their neighbors.
Yes that's exactly the case. I do agree with what you're saying but at least in Iran it's mainly a reaction to the experience of the people with the government, not the people themselves. People in order to distance themselves for what the government stands for, look more towards the west. Thank you for watching the video and your comment :)

Yes that has definitely had it's effects 🤔
Bazaars in Azerbaijan are nothing like in Iran. Why Azerbaijan is so different from Iran?

That's bc we persians are not Semitic but Arya and our culture is really close to Europeans
Reminds me of Chinese and Japanese
That makes sense :)
