I am sure @Captain_Azeri @bsruzm can answer it better than I.
“Iran’s initial euphoria at the prospect of a new Shia state quickly turned into dread, as Baku expressed irredentist sentiments and promoted the idea of a ‘Greater Azerbaijan,’ which would unite Azerbaijan (the country) and Azerbaijan (the region in northwest Iran). Fearing Baku's intentions to fuel secessionism inside its borders, Iran provided vital backing to Armenia in its war against Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which dragged on from 1988 to 1994 and ended in an inconclusive cease-fire.”[22] Iran’s siding with Armenia during the Nagorno-Karabakh War has not been forgotten in Azerbaijan, and Tehran’s support of Armenia—especially in light of Azerbaijan’s recent growth in power projection—has not abated.[22]

we have a saying, a slogan - it is sung in Turkish-Iran and also in the core country of Azerbaijan:
"Rus, Fars, Ermeni Bunlar Türkün düsmani"
which means:
"Russians, Persians, Armenians - these are enemies of the Turks"
