State Flag Day (Azerbaijan)
National holiday in Azerbaijan
The Day of the State Flag of Azerbaijan (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Respublikasının Dövlət Bayrağı Günü) is a national holiday in Azerbaijan that is celebrated annually on 9 November. 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.[1] It has been celebrated as a non-working public holiday ever since.[2]
