Coat of arms of the Azerbaijan SSR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Azerbaijan SSR was adopted in 1937 by the government of the Azerbaijan SSR. The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of the Soviet Union.
The coat of arms features a drilling rig representing Baku's wealthy oil reservoirs and behind it a sunrise, stands for the future of the Azeri nation. The hammer and sickle are prominently featured above it while the red star (symbolizing "socialism on all five continents") sits at the top of the emblem, for the victory of communism and the "world-wide socialist community of states". The outer rim features symbols of agriculture-wheat and cotton.
The slogan on the banner reads "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" in both the Russian and Azerbaijani languages. In the Soviet Azerbaijani transliteration, the sentence was Бүтүн өлкəлəрин пролетарлары, бирлəшин! In today's Latin script of the language, it would read Bütün ölkələrin proletarları, birləşin!
The full name of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic is spelled out in both in the Russian and Azeri languagess.
The emblem was changed in 1992 to the present coat of arms of Azerbaijan.
