    I agree with you to an extent. I think we both agree that clearly the closest group to Northern Azerbaijanis are Southern Azerbaijanis. I think that is an indisputable fact.

    Linguistically and politically they tend to be closer to Turkey than non-Azeri Iranians. However, religiously culturally and historically they share more with Iranians. The closeness to Turkey is a recent phenomenon and has no historical precedent while with Iran it has a historical foundation.

    Turkey's interest in Azerbaijan is about its energy resources and blocking Russian influence into Turkey. Plus Azerbaijan will also provide Turkey a window and an access into the energy-rich Central Asian Republics of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, and ultimately make Turkey a major hub of energy to Europe and the rest of world, and Azerbaijan's interest in working with the Turks is to weaken the Russian influence and to provide additional markets for their oil outside the former Soviet Bloc. Also, to provide an ally to regain Nagaro-Karabakh from the Armenians who are a very close ally of the Russians. So Azeris are hoping that long term Turkey can be used against the Russians in the region.

    While Turkic brotherhood /Pan Turkism plays a role and has an appeal in both Turkey and Azerbaijan other factors play much more pivotal roles.

    Clearly, I agree with you at least for the time being Turkey and Azerbaijan are much closer than Iran and Azerbaijan despite Iran having a large Azeri population.
