The initiative was supported by the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the Istanbul Governor's Office, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Infrastructure, and the Istanbul bridges connecting Europe and Asia in 2018-2019 were illuminated with the colors of the tricolor flag of Azerbaijan.

This year, the Consulate General proposed to illuminate the historic Galata Tower in the center of Istanbul, which is the most visited by foreign tourists, in three colors, and the proposal was accepted by the above-mentioned organizations.
Istanbul bridges were illuminated in blue, red and blue in the evening of May 27. On May 28, in addition to the bridges, the historic Galata Tower will be illuminated with the colors of the Azerbaijani flag.
