At the meeting of the ICOMAM International Committee the book "Three flags belonging to the Nakhchivan Khanate" (based on the books "Flags of Nakhchivan" by P. Gozalov - Baku 2015 and "Three flags belonging to the Nakhchivan Khanate" - Baku 2016 with additions) was presented in Azerbaijani, Russian and English by the author of the book Parvin Gozalov. In the book, the author draws the readers’ attention to a detailed study of the three flags of the Nakhchivan Khanate, first discovered in the scientific and cultural history of Azerbaijan in 2015. The publication provides explanatory information about the identity of the symbols used on the state and battle flags of the Nakhchivan Khanate with the symbols used on the state flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan. In addition, research material is presented on the allied banners of the Nakhchivan and Iravan khanates, indicating their equal alliance with Fatali Khan. Also, for the first time in the history of Azerbaijan, the publication contains the "Map of the military operations of the South Caucasus in 1809-1817 based on the Gulustan-Bucharest peace." As seen on the map, there are no Armenian state and toponyms on the map. The map was compiled in the military-historical department of the Headquarters of the Caucasian Military District.
