A scandal in connection with Armenian and Azerbaijani national flags took place at Uludağ University in Bursa, Turkey.

The Azerbaijani students of this institution of higher education said they had noticed, on December 5, that the flag of their country was absent from in front of the university. 

The university staff informed them that the flags were being renewed and the new Azerbaijani flag will be hung in one week.

One week later, however, the Azerbaijani students saw that there was no flag yet, and therefore they informed the university administration that they themselves want to hang the flag of Azerbaijan.

But Islamic history lecturer, Professor Salih Pay, who is in charge of flag affairs at Uludağ University, told these Azerbaijani students that the national flag of Armenia had disappeared several days ago, they were the suspects, and if they return the Armenian flag, he will hang the flag of Azerbaijan, too.

On the next day, however, these Azerbaijani students went to the university to hang the flag of their country on their own. But they were met by a large number of police cars at the yard of the university. So the Azerbaijani students held a protest outside the university grounds.
