Baku. Victoria Dementieva â€“ APA. The flag of Libyan National Transitional Council was hoisted in the Libyan embassy in Azerbaijan. APA reports that the flag was hoisted by Libyan Charge dâ€™Affairs Naji Ghazala. He told journalists: â€œToday we celebrate Libyanâ€™s holiday, the victory of Libyan revolutionists. Thankfully, dictator Muammar Gaddafi has been already defeated. We celebrate it with pleasureâ€, Ghazala said.

The Charge dâ€™Affaires said that the hoisting of this flag means that the embassy recognizes the Libyan National Transitional Council and â€œdoesnâ€™t obey dictator Gaddafiâ€.

He also said that 60 countries had already recognized the legitimacy of the Libyan National Transitional Council: â€œWe believe that Azerbaijan will also recognize the Libyan National Transitional Council in the near futureâ€.

Answering the journalistsâ€™ questions, the Charge dâ€™Affairs said that Libyan capital Tripoli was fully under the control of the Libyan National Transitional Council: â€œThere are little problems, but these problems will be eliminated in the next few daysâ€.

The diplomat said that whereabouts of Muammar Gaddafi were still unknown.
