Nobody is pure, you guys try to explain turkification of Azerbaijan with a ridiculous argument like "their identity was weak" but thats not the reason, if you check the regions in middle east where Turk ethnicity is preserved and people speaks Turkic, they were all the major centers of nomadic migrations, these locals are assimilated because region was dominated by Turkic speakers, when all your neighbours are English speakers, you will start speaking English. there was no state policy to assimilate people, states used local languages in their court as well, there was no reason for them to get assimilated out of nowhere.
Of course these people will be called Turkic, what else ? Celtic ? Iranian is nationality.
We all can claim its part of our history, Iranian ? yes because they were Iran centered states ? Turk ? because they were founded by Turkics, more then that, these Turkic speakers were basically same people with those at Anatolia. Well of course Azeri also have the right to consider its as a part of their modern identity's history.
