Baku / 18.10.17 / TURAN: On October 18, Azerbaijan marks the Day of State Independence. Exactly 25 years ago - on 18 October 1991, the Azerbaijani parliament adopted the Constitutional Act on the restoration of the state independence of Azerbaijan.
With this document the Republic of Azerbaijan was declared the successor of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic of 1918-20, which collapsed as a result of the occupation of Azerbaijan by Bolshevik Russia.
According to the Constitution Act, all citizens are guaranteed full equality, regardless of nationality and religion. Until 2006, October 18 was celebrated as a festive day off. However, in 2006, Parliament amended the legislation, excluding the day of 18 October from the list of public holidays. -06D-
