Blue for Turkic heritage, red for progress, green for Islam: that's the traditional read on Azerbaijan's tricolor, topped with a white crescent and eight-pointed star on the center stripe. The eight points are commonly linked to eight Turkic peoples, and the crescent nods to the same tradition as Turkey's flag. It's a quick visual marker of the country's place between Europe and Asia.
