Azerbaijan’s national flag, displayed on Baku’s National Flag Square, has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for its size. Measuring 36 by 72 meters and weighing over 500 kilograms, the massive flag achieved its world record status on November 6. President Ilham Aliyev attended the flag-raising ceremony, coinciding with Azerbaijan’s Victory Day celebrations.

Baku’s National Flag Square previously held the Guinness record for the world’s tallest flagpole in 2010 with its 162-meter structure, though it was later surpassed by taller flagpoles in Tajikistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed concerns over NATO, stating, “The hysteria in the media is baseless. President Trump supports NATO, and we will remain in NATO.” He clarified that Trump is not against the alliance but “against a NATO that does not have the capabilities it needs.” Speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels, Rubio urged all member states to increase defense spending to 5 percent to strengthen the alliance.

Rutte highlighted NATO’s continued support for Ukraine, noting over $20 billion in aid and ongoing negotiations for a lasting peace. He also pointed to growing security threats from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
