Azerbaijan's road signs say STOP in English, and one deputy wants them to say DUR or TOXTA instead. Deputy Hikmet Babaoghlu has hit back at critics, asking why he should back down, Oxu reports.
The argument is about language on the street: STOP is understood everywhere, but for Babaoghlu, an Azerbaijani word belongs on Azerbaijani roads. It is a small sign with a large symbolic load, and it has become a talking point precisely because everyone sees the sign every day.
