And how many of them consider Turk / Turkish their own selves? I know so many turkic people live in Iran. But do they feel as an Anatolian Turk?

Turk & Turkic is not the same thing. Turkic is a language classification, relating to the Altaic family tree. So perhaps there are people in Iran who speak a Turkic language, but this does not make them Turk, Anatolian Turk or Turkish. It's similar to Germans & Germanic languages. English is a Germanic language but do the English view themselves as Germans? No, but their language is Germanic.

I know there is a large percent of Azerbaijani natives that live in northern Iran (Tabriz) and they are sometimes mistakenly referred to as Turks. They speak Azerbaijani which is very close to Turkish.
