\u201cOn behalf of the people of Kenya and on my own behalf, I convey to your Excellency and through you to the people of the Republic of Azerbaijan, heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of your National Day.

Azerbaijan declared independence from the Russian Empire in Tiflis on May 28, 1918.<\/p>\n

The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was founded by the Azerbaijani National Council in Tiflis on 28 May 1918 after the collapse of the Russian Empire that began with the Russian Revolution of 1917.<\/p>\n

Independence Day honours the date on which the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was founded as the first secular democratic state in the Muslim East, May 28 1918.<\/p>\n

Since 1990, Republic Day has been celebrated as a national holiday in Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Until 2021, it was marked as Republic Day. In October 2021, it was renamed and became Independence Day.<\/p>\n
