The Flag of Azerbaijan consists of three horizontal stripes: blue at the top, red in the middle, and green at the bottom. The blue represents the Turkic heritage of the Azerbaijani people, the red symbolizes progress and modernization, and the green signifies Islam. In the center of the red stripe, there is a white crescent and an eight-pointed star. Adopted on February 5, 1991, the flag reflects the country's independence from the Soviet Union. The design is rooted in the historical and cultural identity of Azerbaijan, emphasizing its connection to both Turkic and Islamic traditions.
