Meaning & history of the Azerbaijan flag

Azerbaijan's flag has horizontal bands of blue, red and green with a white crescent and eight-pointed star centred. Blue represents the country's Turkic heritage, red its drive toward modernity and progress, and green Islam. The eight points of the star are often linked to the eight branches of the Turkic peoples.
