In my current game the Ak Koyounlu had event 103011 which moves their capital and should release the Safavids/PERsia.
However they only moved their capital and the Safavids did not appear on the map.
The problems results from the entry in revolts.txt
There PER has Isfahan (528) as it´s capital and a lot of "minimum" cores. However if AKK does not own the capital and the minimum cores of PER then they are not released in AKK103011 as it was intended. Which would be in most games as Fars usually controls the middle part of Persia in my games.
In my game Fars owned those provinces and when I manually triggered 103011 for them it worked perfectly releasing the Safavids.
The solution would be to go back to the PER entry from AGCEEP and use Azerbajdschan as capital of PER and to have only few "minimum" cores and all other cores as extra cores. Then AKK should release PER without problems.
That PER would start with fewer cores than in the current PV revolt.txt would be no problem because event PER 3998 ("The Safavid State") adds most cores for them.
currently in Plus Vltra:
vanilla AGCEEP:
So more like that with only 2 minimum cores and the original capital in Azerbaydschan. PER has several events moving it´s capital to the historic locations later.
Persian events:
Having that event able to trigger starting in 1419 when there are no events involving PER before 1485 does not make sense.
In Plus Vltra there are new provinces that should be cores for the Safavids too, e.g. Baku and Ganja to have a land connection to the core in Dagestan.
As -1 can be used to break the vassalage to a random liegelord there are no longer 3 commands necessary to break vassalage with the 3 most likely states that might be liege lord. As only 1 break vassalage remains the stability bonus can be lowered to +3.
Unlike AGCEEP the states of Ak Koyounlu and Kara Koyounlu start with turkoman instead of turkish stateculture.

Shouldn´t the island of Hormuz be connected to the mainland with a strait similar to the Bospurus or the Denmark-Sweden straits?

The capital and the tradecenter of Azerbajdschan (province 487) overlap to the point that they are hard to click without accidentally hitting the other one.
I suggest a slight move of the capital south so that both are visible:

should Azerbaijan be speaking Azari and not turkoman
Turkoman was in northern IraQ or turkmenistan and maybe uzbekistan
Turkoman was in northern IraQ or turkmenistan and maybe uzbekistan
And introduce a new one-province-culture that either the Ottomans or the Safavids (not the Sassanids) need to have?

Turkoman is not always the same as turkomans in Turkmenistan or Iraq but can be used as a more general term including the Azeris:

why do you want to distort history and make it ONE province ?..........designate it in its proper regions
Your original question was if Azerbajdschan should be "speaking azeri" instead of having turkoman provinceculture.
Azerbajdschan (province ID 487) IS one province. What are you talking about?

By the 15th century Azerbaijan was already heavily Turkified and the original Iranian Azari language had practically died out. Modern Azeri descends from Turkic/Turkoman.
as of today , there are 30million people who speak Azari in basically 4 provinces of the PV map..............clearly the language was around in the middle-ages
I think what Therion meant was that the original iranian language of the Azeri had died out and that the people there were already speaking a turkic language very similar to the turkish language of Turkey or the other turkoman languages.
Which means that having Azerbajdschan as "turkish" provinceculture (as they also call themselves azerbajdschani turks) would just be as justified as having them "turkoman" as all of them are oghuz (western turkish) languages:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_people
and according to german WIKI
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aserbaidschaner#Alternativbezeichnungen
the Azeris are even called "Derbent-Turkmen" in Dagestan.
The question would be what we want to achieve with the province culture. The only independant state that would need to have a culture that none of it´s neighbours has would be the Khanate of Derbent
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanat_Derbent
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanates_of_the_Caucasus
that appears only late in the FtG timeframe after the Safavids start to lose direct control of their borders.
The Safavids should be able to rule the area without problems for 200 years so whatever culture Azerbajdschan has PER, QAR and AKK need to get it. And as the turkmen in Iraq are basically the same people as the Azeris I would be for leaving Azerbajdschan as "turkoman" and having PER, QAR and AKK all have turkoman culture. It´s better than having Azerbajdschan "turkish" as in vanilla map AGCEEP and the Safavids having turkish culture.
While there may be Azeri people geographically in 4 of the Plus Vltra provinces nowadays there would only be 1 or 2 in which they would be the majority of the population and not just a part of a very mixed population. Especially when we already have turkish, armenian, kurdish, dagestani, persian and turkoman as separate cultures.
Having another culture there that is only slightly different from turkish or turkoman would be a first step to have 1 culture for every single province in the caucasus... :-(

In addition to what CD said, there are two languages known as "Azeri":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Azeri_language
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_language
Modern Azeri language (the one spoken in the region from the Middle Ages onwards) is Turkic. Indeed Azeri, Turkish and Turkmen are considered to be mutually intelligible to this day and the only reason they are treated as different languages is because they are the national languages of three different states (Azerbaijan, Turkey and Turkmenistan). In fact the eastern dialects of Turkish are said to be closer to Azeri than they are to standard Turkish.
In the game I differentiated between Turkish and Turkoman mainly to distinguish between "Ottoman" Turks (who also tend to be more settled) and "Persian" Turks (who also tend to be more nomadic) but culture-wise this split is quite arbitrary.
