Gerard, PLEASE learn the difference between “when” and “if”. It really matters.

Don’t be so judgemental where a practical matter is in question. 

There’s nothing wrong with az-latn.wikipedia.org and az-arab.wikipedia.org 
either, using script codes. Or az.wikipedia.org as it is and a new 
az-arab.wikipedia.org 

The chief question seems to be script, not language. Ethnologue at least says 
nothing about mutual intelligibility.
