A crescent and eight-pointed star on Azerbaijan’s tricolour
Azerbaijan’s flag has horizontal blue, red and green bands, with a white crescent and an eight-pointed star centred on the red band. Its symbol is contained within the central stripe rather than separated into a canton.
The presidency’s explanation links blue with Turkic heritage, red with modernisation and democracy, and green with Islamic culture. The eight-pointed star is also explained through Azerbaijani identity; other historical interpretations exist, so the source of each explanation matters.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
