Flag and Emblem?[edit]

Does Nakhchivan actually use the flag and emblem of Azerbaijan independently? Or is the flag and emblem just put here because it's part of Azerbaijan? I think if it's the latter, it's not really necessary to put it here. — [ kentronhayastan ] 13:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. The autonomous republic flag resembles the Azerbaijan national flag, but the green and white portions are replaced with yellow. I suggest this be corrected. Ptilinopus (talk) 12:27, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amendment required[edit]

The article states: "Nakhchivan is homogeneously Azerbaijani today besides a small population of Russians." The reference provided - Britannica - states a small population of Armenians and Russians. Would a registered editor amend, please. 182.239.152.166 (talk) 01:15, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Add Context[edit]

The article says "Though a mixed Armenian–Azerbaijani region as late as a century ago, Nakhchivan is homogeneously Azerbaijani today besides a small population of Russians." I think it's necessary to add why this is (because of the forced population exchange between Azerbaijan and Armenia). This is stated later in the article in the demographics section, but such an important part of the history of region should be stated a lot earlier.
