This is because the Iranian government respects these Azerbaijanis very much, so there has never been any conflict or resentment between Iranians and Azerbaijanis. More importantly, there is a big gap between Azerbaijan and Iran in international status. Moreover, Azerbaijan is unable to protect these people. These Azerbaijanis have lived in Iran for generations and have been integrated into Iranian society.

So we can see that these Azerbaijanis are also very supportive of some decisions of the Iranian government. If these Azerbaijanis return to Azerbaijan now, it will definitely bring great pressure to the Azerbaijani government, because Azerbaijan is a small country and cannot bear such great population pressure. More importantly, once these Azerbaijanis return to Azerbaijan, it will bring a very unstable impact on the domestic situation.

Moreover, Iran has taken tough measures in the face of US sanctions and safeguarded the interests of many Azerbaijanis, so we can see that Azerbaijanis will choose to support some decisions of Iran. Because if the Iranian government collapses, the interests of these Azerbaijanis living in Iran will also be greatly affected. Because there is no conflict between the Iranian government and Azerbaijanis.

Once the Iranian government is overthrown, the new Iranian government is likely to harm the interests of Azerbaijanis, so it is very correct for these Azerbaijanis to choose to support the Iranian government. If they choose to confront the Iranian government, these Azerbaijanis will certainly be severely hit by the Iranian government.
