Constitution Day of Azerbaijan
November 12 · Level 5 · #1128 of 2238
Azerbaijan's Constitution Day marks the adoption of the country's fundamental law by referendum in 1995. It is an occasion to reflect on the foundations of government and the rights and freedoms set out for citizens.
How it is celebrated: schools, universities, libraries and public institutions host talks, exhibitions and discussions. Events explore how the constitution was adopted and what its provisions mean for the country.
The constitutional referendum took place on the same day as independent Azerbaijan's first parliamentary elections. Two major steps in shaping its institutions therefore share an anniversary.
