azerbaijan emblem

The state emblem of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan gerbi) mixes traditional and modern symbols. The focal point of the emblem is a stylised flame. The flame is in the shape of the word "Allah" written in Arabic to represent the country's majority-Muslim population. As well as a reference to Azerbaijan's eternal natural oil-gas resources, which has given it the nickname "land of eternal fire". The emblem is supported by a crossed stalk of wheat and an oak bough. Wheat is the symbol of abundance in Azerbaijan since Azerbaijan has become the motherland of many Prophets and their descendants all the history. Also, wheat bread is the main staple food. The oak tree is the symbol of power and youth in time.
