Constitution Day in Azerbaijan is celebrated annually on November 12. This commemoration marks the adoption of the Constitution of the Azerbaijan Republic in 1995. The adoption of Azerbaijan's constitution is a key event in the country's history, marking its complete independence and establishing it as a sovereign nation. The constitution defines the structure of Azerbaijan's government and delineates the rights and responsibilities of its citizens.
Since 1995, Azerbaijanis have been celebrating Constitution Day to honor their independence and the establishment of their democratic laws. Public events are held, including meetings, concerts, and performances aimed at educating people about the constitution and its significance to Azerbaijan's sovereignty. Schools, universities and public institutions host special programs and activities to emphasize the importance of the constitution in shaping the national identity and unity of Azerbaijan.
Moreover, Constitution day is a public holiday in Azerbaijan. This means that most businesses, educational institutions, and government offices are closed. It is a day of joy, pride, and reflection for Azerbaijanis. This celebration symbolizes the strength of Azerbaijan's democracy, the consolidation of human and civil rights, the formation of a secular state, and the guarantee of the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty. In this way, Constitution Day in Azerbaijan is not just a legal holiday, but also an important cultural and educational event.
