The establishment on 28 May 1918 of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) went down in the chronicles of our nation as a great and historic event. In just 23 months of existence, the ADR, which set the goal of building an independent, free and democratic republic, managed to return national consciousness to our people and demonstrated that it is able to determine its destiny itself.

As can be seen from the "Declaration of Independence" adopted in Tbilisi on 28 May 1918, this great date further strengthened the desire of the Azerbaijani people for independence. Azerbaijan, which restored its independence in the late 20th century, managed to maintain its sovereignty.

Azerbaijani nation celebrate this glorious date, 28 May when the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was established, as the Day of the Republic.
