The flag of Azerbaijan can really—and even should—appear in Nagorno-Karabakh, but solely on the roof of the embassy of that country.   

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) President’s press secretary Davit Babayan told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Babayan commented on the statement by chairman Bayram Safarov of the “Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh” NGO, according to which, “The tricolor flag of Azerbaijan will wave in Nagorno-Karabakh.”  

“The flag of Azerbaijan should wave on the roof of its embassy in Nagorno-Karabakh, and we consider this to be the shortest way to settle the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict.

“In our turn, we stand ready to allocate a place for the embassy in Shushi, [capital city] Stepanakert, or somewhere else where we see fit,” Babayan noted.      

But he added that if Safarov means to say that the Azerbaijani flag can appear in the NKR as a result of war, he is sadly mistaken.  

“In case of war, the Karabakh tricolor [flag] will appear in [Azerbaijani capital city] Baku, atop the President’s Office and on top of all important institutions [in Azerbaijan],” Davit Babayan concluded.
