Baku/09.11.22/Turan: November 9 is celebrated in Azerbaijan as the National Flag Day. On the occasion of the national holiday, it is not a working day.
The three-color flag with a crescent and an eight-pointed star as a state symbol was approved on November 9, 1918 by the Azerbaijan People's Republic (1918-20). This flag was valid until April 28, 1920, when Azerbaijan was occupied by Bolshevik Russia.
As a result of the national liberation struggle of the late 1980s and early 1990s, on February 5, 1991, the Supreme Council of Azerbaijan restored the three-color flag as a symbol of the republic.
In accordance with the decree of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, dated November 17, 2009, in memory of the Azerbaijan People’s Republic, November 9 is annually celebrated as National Flag Day.
In 2010, the Flag Square with a flagpole height of 162 m was opened on the southwestern coast of Baku Bay. The Flag Museum was also created there. -0-
