October 18 - Day of Restoration of Independence of Azerbaijan.

October 18 is a significant day, inscribed with honor and pride in the history of the Azerbaijani people. As a result of the collapse of the USSR, the Azerbaijani people gained state independence for the second time. After the discussions held on October 8, 1991, at an extraordinary session of the Supreme Council of Azerbaijan the Constitutional Act “On State Independence” was adopted on October 18 . The Constitutional Act contains the fundamental principles of political and economic relations, the ownership of natural resources by the people, equality of all forms of property, the right of citizens to vote and the provision of a multi-party system. Since October 18, 1991, Azerbaijan has been an independent, sovereign country, and the people annually celebrate this date as a holiday. We, in our turn, want the independence of our state to be eternal and unshakable.
