September 20 is celebrated in Azerbaijan as State Sovereignty Day.
Sea-news.az reports that in this regard, President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree on September 19, 2024.
As a result of the 44-day Patriotic War that began on September 27, 2020, the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan won a historic Victory. Liberating its lands from 30 years of occupation, Azerbaijan achieved the restoration of its territorial integrity and the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions.
On September 19, 2023, local anti-terrorist measures were launched in the Karabakh economic region of Azerbaijan with the aims of preventing provocations, disarming and withdrawing the remnants of the Armenian armed forces from our territories, and restoring the constitutional order of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
As a result of the operation, which lasted just 23 hours and 43 minutes and concluded on September 20, the Azerbaijani Army fulfilled its assigned tasks. Thus, the sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan was fully restored across all territories of the country.
Today, the State Flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan waves across all territories where our sovereignty has been established.
It should be noted that September 20 – State Sovereignty Day is a working holiday.
