I am comletely agree with Metin,

I am a Turkmen (Iranian Turkmen) and not an Azeri. But I have more
than 100 Azeri freinds in university. All of them like (love) their
latin writing system (like all of Iranian Turkmens). Persian/Arabic
script is completely unable to cover all of Turk languages need.
Azeri and Turkmen are a vowel based languages and vowels is
the first missed things in Persian scripting.

Then I think the az_IR:az and tk_IR:tk is the best choice.
I like hear Metin and Amir.

Sincerely
