Removal of Turkish flag coincidence after incident with Azeri flag - official
An Azerbaijani senior official has said the removal of Turkish flags
from the memorial was coincidence following the incident with
Azerbaijani flag in Turkey.
Ali Hasanov, head of the public political department of the
Presidential Administration, has said the removal of Turkish flags
from the memorial in Baku was legal and coincided with the incident
related to Azerbaijani flag in Turkey by chance, opposition daily Yeni
Musavat reported. TV footage showed Azerbaijani flags in dustbins
during Turkish-Armenian football match on 14 October.
"This happened by chance. But the process has started a while ago. The
removal of flags is regulated with the law on raising flags of foreign
countries in Azerbaijan," Yeni Musavat quoted Ali Hasanov as saying.
