I am native English, and my opinion on this is "what?"
If someone started talking to me about "Azeri" or "Azeris", I would have no
clue what they were talking about.
If they talk to me about "Azerbaijanis", I would know who/what they meant, but
I might still wonder why they wanted to talk to me about them.
I really do not think "Azeri" is "common" for speakers of English.
