On July 5th the largest flag in Azerbaijan will be removed from the flagpole in Flag Square in Baku. This is due to "preventive work", which will take place on the flagpole until July 20, according to the management of Flag Square.
The flag measuring 70 by 35 meters on the area was raised Sept. 1, 2010.
The flagpole in Flag Square has an altitude of 162 meters and was the highest one in the world until May 2011, when a 165-meter flagpole was finally built in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The flag in Baku was included in the Guinness Book of Records. -06D-
