Read the article completely. It contains data. it says that they are more close to south caucasians from paternal side, and they are close to Iranians from maternal side. Actually, it has been their tradition to take women outside their community and bring them into their families, and tribes. BTW, datas are available as well.
The Fst is 0.016 and 0.010 between Mazandaranis and S. Caucasus, which shows very close relation while it is 0.084 and 0.011 between them and Iranians.
There is no point arguing since every genetic test shows that:
1) Iranian Azerbaijanis are more closer to Persians and Kurds than to Turks from Anatolia or Turkmen.
2) Iranian Azerbaijanis and Kurds are the most closest to each other.
3) Azerbaijanis are Turkified Caucasians and Iranians that adopted a Turkish language.
