    Turkey pleased with Azerbaijan's restoration of Turkish flags "Turks
    cemetery" (Martyrdom) was erected in Baku in honour of 1130 Turkish
    soldiers died fighting within "Caucasian Islam Army" against Armenian
    and Russian soldiers that occupied Azerbaijan in 1918.

    Thursday, 29 October 2009 08:19 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
    honoring 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, Ouzgergin 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 countries.

    "Turks cemetery" (Martyrdom) was erected in Baku in honour of 1130
    Turkish soldiers died fighting within "Caucasian Islam Army" against
    Armenian and Russian soldiers that occupied Azerbaijan in 1918.
