Azerbaijani flag is dear for Turkey and all Turkish people: Turkish FM

22 October 2009 [15:49] - TODAY.AZ
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stated that there is no flag problem between Turkey and Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijani flag will be waving in Turkey as it was earlier, the minister added.

Turkey has the law on flag, but the Azerbaijani flag is waving in Turkey because it is not foreign flag for Turkey, Davutoglu added.

Regarding the disrespect against the Azerbaijani flag in Bursa, the minister said there are forces willing to harm the Turkey-Azerbaijan relations.

"This is their provocation. Some media outlets willingly exaggerate the incident," the minister said.

"It was FIFA who imposed a ban on Azerbaijani flag during the Turkey-Armenia football match. No one from the Turkish authorities appealed FIFA to put this ban," Davutoglu said.
