History of Flag Day in Azerbaijan
Flag Day is a relatively new holiday in Azerbaijan, having been introduced in 2009. The holiday is celebrated on November 9th, the same day that the Azerbaijani flag was adopted in 1918.
The Azerbaijani flag has a rich history, with its design having evolved over time. The first Azerbaijani flag was created in 1918, during the short-lived Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. This flag was blue, with a white crescent and eight-pointed star in the center.
After the Soviet Union took control of Azerbaijan in 1920, the Azerbaijani flag was changed to a red banner with a hammer and sickle in the top left corner. This flag was used until Azerbaijan gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
After independence, the Azerbaijani flag was once again changed, this time to the current design. The flag is blue, with a white crescent and eight-pointed star in the center, and a horizontal band of red on the bottom.
Flag Day is celebrated throughout Azerbaijan with parades, concerts, and other festivities. The holiday is an opportunity for Azerbaijanis to show their pride in their country and their flag, and to celebrate the rich history and culture of Azerbaijan.
