By Azerbajani they mean Azerbajani Turk.And with “Turk” they mean Turkish Turk so I don’t get the problem here.They just phrased it wrong

I am no Azerbaijani of course but in many cases ethnic categories are etymologically related to names of states they dominate. And many of these states aren’t less diverse than Azerbaijan.

Nationality is defined by culture and language. If you are organic part of our community, speak our language and share the same values you are Azerbaijani. The given question is stupid. I may be Hindu or Mali if we go back hundreds of years, but does it matter if I’m an Azerbaijani just like everybody else? Or have you seen Lezgis and Udis acting so different than us culturally? No

Soviets changed the naming of the language from Tük to Azerbaijani during the repressions. After independence we reverted it back. Then shitstorm started. There were separatist movements within the country. So we had to switch it to back.
But on the one hand, who cares anymore?! If you call it Turk, then it will be confusion. Which Turks are you talking about?!
