what about the azeris in Iraq that are called turkmen due to the turkification during the ottoman empire, are they Iranic/Turkic ?
Same culture/language as Azeris but use latin letters.
I think you are confused big time.
"Azeri" is only a 20th century designation invented in Iran. Historically, it has no relation to Turks of Azerbaijan whom were never called this way, or identified this way. Likewise, in 1936 Soviet Union decided to apply "Azerbaijani" instead of "Turk" as an ethnic designation for Azerbaijani Turks, and it has remained as such. Mind you that in Republic of Azerbaijan, there is no such thing as "Azeri", it is "Azerbaijani". If you look at Russian Empire period, you would see that the official designation of Azerbaijani Turks was "Tatar". In short, "Azeri" is an alien term for Azerbaijani Turks, invented in Iran in 20th century and applied by the Shah regime, as a part of broader assimilation policy.
So Turkmens of Iraq are called by their proper names. Turkmen was a general name for Muslim Oghuz populations, which includes Azerbaijani Turks. Actually, during Russian Empire period, a large part of Azerbaijani population identified as "Tarakama", which is derived from "Turkman". Even in Russian sources, you can see that they mention Azerbaijani population as "Tarakama Tatars".
Azerbaijani Turks do use Latin letters. In fact Azerbaijan adopted Latin script prior to Turkey, in 1922.
As for Turkmens in Iraq, a part of them are descended from earlier Oghuz settlements in Iraq, a part of them are from Azerbaijan who settled there during Safavid and Nader Shah periods, and a part of them is descended from Turks who settled there from Ottoman lands during Ottoman rule. Their dialect is indeed closer to Azerbaijani Turkish.
Also, Iraq was home to Fuzuli, one of the greatest Azerbaijani poets, from the Oghuz Bayat tribe.
Strange, because thousands of Azerbaijanis are annually coming to Iran to enjoy cheap products and health care. Must be a nice nightmare then.
Azerbaijanis have a Half-Moon behind a Red Backround
Turkey doesn't want anything for themselves. Don't pull **** out of your ***.Ah come on you guys want to have Azerbaijan for yourselves like Russia wants to have Tatarstan for them and Georgia wants Ahiska fro themselves you want to assimilate them i hope you stop that we saw in history what happeneds to tyrants and i think about a state that would love to help the Azeris against Iran
Turkey doesn't want anything for themselves. Don't pull **** out of your ***.
Turkey and Azerbaijan relationship is totally voluntary and based on friendship, brotherhood and cooperation. Turkey is not Russia towards Azerbaijan. You are totally confused. We don't impose anything on them.
Azerbaijan and Turkey is known as two states, one nation. Never forget this.

Azeris are Descendants of Shah Ismail's Türkmen Tribes. Heterodox Muslims, later converted to Shia Islam.
Turkish Jafaris, Iraqi Turkmens, Azerbaijani Turks and West Iranian Turks are from the same branch of ethno-sectarian community.
ASQ, we were divided once because of Sunni-Shia issue, which had nothing to do with Turks, but a pure Arabic dynasty war.
