Ankara, 28 October: Turkey is pleased with Azerbaijan's move to
hoist back the Turkish flag up to the pole at a war memorial in Baku,
Turkish foreign ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
Burak Ozugergin said, "there is no doubt that Turkey and Azerbaijan
will, from now on, show full respect to two flags of the Turkish
nation."
Azerbaijani officials hauled down a Turkish flag at a war memorial
honouring Turkish soldiers in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, after
football fans were not allowed to carry Azerbaijani flags at a match
between Turkey and Armenia. Turkey and Armenia last month signed an
accord to normalize relations and open a border gate.
Turkish Foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu travelled to Baku on October
22, Ozugergin recalled and said that during this visit, Turkish
and Azerbaijani officials once again reaffirmed that Turkish and
Azerbaijani flags were not considered flags of a foreign state in
each country.
