Festivities on the occasion of Novruz
Festivities on the occasion of Novruz Bayram have started in on Saturday in the capital. The ceremony began in front of the Maiden Tower, where the head of state traditionally participates with family members. Members of the government and deputies are also taking part in "public festivities". Then the participants of the ceremony went to the seaside boulevard, where the exhibition-fair is held.
For ordinary citizens the movement in the center of the capital became a problem because of the blocking of roads and traffic jams. Pedestrians were denied access to Primorsky Boulevard. From 18 to 26 March inclusive in Azerbaijan non-working days.
Novruz comes on March 20 at 14:29. On March 19 will be marked Bayram Akhshamy.-06D--

People seek to learn about past eras by conducting research on the internet, watching films, or being regular attendees of theatrical performances. Some periods in cultural history have not been deeply studied, and finding precise, detailed information in the Azerbaijani language is nearly impossible. One such period is the Qajar era, which lasted from 1794 to 1985.
