The United Kingdom’s new ambassador Duncan Norman has congratulated Azerbaijan on the occasion of May 28 – Independence Day, APA reports.
The ambassador shared a video message on his X account.
“On May 28, 1918, Azerbaijan established the first secular democratic parliamentary republic in the Muslim East. At a time when much of the world had not yet embraced these ideas, women in the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic were granted the right to vote. A parliament was established, and a modern state was built. I am still only at the very beginning of my journey in Azerbaijan. But one thing I already know is that this country has ancient roots. This people carry this history with pride. Happy Independence Day, Azerbaijan. Once raised, the flag will never fall again!” the diplomat said.
