Azerbaijan celebrates National Flag Day
Every year, since 2009, November 9 is celebrated as National Flag Day in Azerbaijan.
The country's current tricolor flag was first approved on November 9, 1918 by the government of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR). After the fall of the ADR and the establishment of Soviet power in 1920, this symbol was abandoned. It was restored in 1991 after the republic gained independence.
