Azerbaijan marks its annual State Sovereignty Day on September 20, commemorating a decisive military operation in the Karabakh region, APA reports.
Under an order signed by President Ilham Aliyev on September 19, 2024, September 20 is annually observed as State Sovereignty Day in Azerbaijan.
The day marks the response to large-scale provocations in the Karabakh economic region on September 19, 2023, when the remnants of Armenian armed forces were disarmed and expelled, and Azerbaijan’s constitutional order was restored in the region through an anti-terror operation.
The operation, which lasted just 23 hours and concluded on September 20, saw the valiant Azerbaijani Armed Forces complete all assigned tasks with high professionalism. As a result of this decisive victory, the sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan was fully restored.
According to the Cabinet of Ministers, State Sovereignty Day will be considered a working holiday for now.
