Association of Scouts of Azerbaijan celebrated National Flag Day on November 9 from different regions and cities of Azerbaijan. Back on November 17, 2009, this day was declared National Flag Day by a Presidential decree. Since then, Azerbaijanis all over the world have celebrated this day. The national tricolor, which is the face of the country and the most highly ranked symbol of independence, symbolizes Azerbaijani people' patriotism, aspirations, and sentiments in their continuous struggle for independence. Azerbaijanis are proud of their flag and show it by waving the flag in every country they visit and live in around the world. The capital Baku has one of the tallest flags in the world: the Azerbaijani flag in the National Flag Square. This 162 meter-high flagpole measures 70 meters high and 35 meters wide and weighs 350 kg. The museum provides all the visitors with information about the flags, symbols, state emblems, and banknotes of states that existed in Azerbaijan's territory from the ancient times till its independence.
