I think they identify a lot with Persian culture. They are mostly Persians who learned the language of their Turkish overlords after all.
I guess you can compare it to how the Irish still view themselves as Irish despite mostly speaking English at this point.
I am no expert though.

How intelligible are Azeri and Turkmen languages to Anatolian Turks?

I dont know, the ones I met were friendly and well mannered, but it might be because the one that emigrated to France were from the upper class.
I guess after seeing shit play out they came to a conclusion that the perfidious yuropean and his shitty failed colonies are nto to be trusted by a millimeter.
which I dont blame them 1 bit

turkmen is hard. azerbaijan azeri is intelligible almost completely, the difference is mostly lexical. iran azeri is a bit harder because their prosody shifted, but it is still intelligible when you are speaking to them, but when they are speaking between themselves it is harder to understand as they speak with a different pace (because of the prosody shift) so you can't understand where one word ends and other begins. lexical difference is also greater between us and them. but i was able to get around just fine with turkish in tabriz for example, didn't need to speak one word of english for 3 days.

"azari" people weren't persian even before turkic migration. you are mixing up persian and iranic. also they don't view themselves as persian (tho some consider themselves iranian, but in an "american" sense, not ethnic)
your comparison doesn't make sense either, it would have to be the other way around and even then, as i said, they don't view themselves as persians-who-speak-turkic, they view themselves as turk/azeri/turkic (tho this is not to say all of them care so much about nationality)

they didn't speak Persian, they spoke Iranic dialects related to those spoken in northwest Iran
