“The removal of foreign flags, including the Turkish one was provided by the &‘Law on use of foreign countries’ flags and international organizations in the Republic of Azerbaijan.’ No special campaign is being launched against Turkey,” Vice Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova stated in the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis.

Turkish flags were lowered in Baku after the Azerbaijani flags were banned during the Turkey-Armenia football match in Bursa.

“There is no and cannot be any anti-Turkish campaign in Azerbaijan. We respond sharply to the Armenia-Turkey Protocols, as if we are in good neighborly relations with Russia and Iran, our relations with Turkey are more than brotherhood. Azerbaijan adheres to it principle in strategic relations with fraternal Turkey,” she said.
