Today, Azerbaijan celebrates National Revival Day. This day has historical ties to the national liberation movement that erupted in Baku in November-December 1988.

On November 9, Azerbaijan celebrates National Flag Day, a symbol of national independence and the country's historical heritage. The tricolor flag, first adopted on November 9, 1918, by the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, was abolished during the Soviet era, but regained its status after the restoration of independence in 1991.

Today marks 33 years since the start of the bloodiest war in Georgia's modern history. Commemorative events are taking place across the country. In the morning, veterans, family members of the victims and activists gathered at the Heroes' Memorial in the center of the capital. The memory of the victims of the conflict was honored by members of the Abkhaz government and the Supreme Council in exile, Deputy Minister of Defense of Georgia Grigol Giorgadze and Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces, Chief of the General Staff Major General Johnny Tatunashvili.

Every year on May 28, Azerbaijan officially celebrates the Republic Day. Since October 15, 2021, this date is called "Independence Day".
