The Day of the State Flag of Azerbaijan is a national holiday in Azerbaijan that is celebrated annually on November 9. State Flag Day was established in 2009 by order of President Ilham Aliyev to commemorate the anniversary of adoption of “The Tricolour Flag” (Azerbaijani: Üçrəngli bayraq) as the flag of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918.
Our future defendants kneel to kiss the flag to cherish the symbol of our statehood and nationalism and pay tribute to those who fell heroically in the liberation of the occupied lands.
