I am also Azeri. So why do you act like you are speaking for our entire population, your opinion is only just that —YOURS.
Just look during last outbreak, you will see protests erupted on border because Armenia and Russian military trucks were allowed to transit via Iran. Now suddenly everyone will be happy Iran is entering war to save Armenia from losing more land?
If Iran aids Armenia, the Iranian Azeri population is not gonna be happy. Any notion of seizing major parts of Azeribajian is fantasy. We are not going to annex another country nor would the world allow that.
Those "ethnicists" are a minority among Azari-speaking Iranians and they are counter-revolutionaries for the most part, alongside a handful of nofuzis. They are furthermore hugely outnumbered by loyalists. Not to mention that most Iranians, Azaris included are of mixed linguistic backgrounds. These citizens by definition won't determine their political positioning based on "ethnic" affiliation. An Iranian with an Azari-speaking father and Kurdish-speaking mother for instance, will be shielded from such deviant tendencies. This is in addition to the huge mass of religious, Hezbollahi Azari-speakers to whom Islam and the Revolution come first.
So those who will demonstrate will be a marginal group even among Azari-speaking Iranians, let alone at the national level. I agree that a knee jerk reaction by Iran wouldn't be productive, but don't worry about Azari Iranians, even if enemy propaganda will unduly try to magnify the slightest dissent expressed by the pan-Turkist fringe amongst them.
