Ankara tower lit up with colors of Azerbaijani flag

Turkey’s Atakule tower, one of the landmarks in capital Ankara, was illuminated with colors of the Azerbaijani flag, to highlight solidarity in combating the novel coronavirus.

The tower also displayed the two countries’ motto “one nation, two states,” according to Turkish media.

Turkey’s move came after a similar gesture by Azerbaijan.

On April 11, Azerbaijan flew the Turkish flag along with its flag at the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center, an iconic symbol in the capital Baku, in a show of solidarity.

Azerbaijan has confirmed 1,197 COVID-19 cases so far.
