You should understand that USA has been supporting Azerbeijan for a long time now with money and military aid.
Azerbeijan is seen as a secular country now and not as a Shiite one, and that's why the relations between Iran and Azerbeijan are not very smooth.
Also you should know that the current president is in very close relations with Turkey, and Turkey is in close alliance with USA...
The current Azeri President is a pro-USA one...
But what the article sais about Iran helping Armenia in the last war is not 100% true. Most of the help came from Russia, ironicaly the country that handed Nagorno-Kharapagh to Azerbeijan.
Thank you!!
