On Dec. 6, 1991, at a meeting of the Supreme Assembly of Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, chaired by Heydar Aliyev, it was decided to establish the International Solidarity Day of Azerbaijanis. In order to adopt a legislative act in this regard, the Supreme Assembly sent an appeal to the country’s parliament - the Supreme Council.
On Dec. 25, Azerbaijan’s Supreme Council, taking into account the appeal, adopted a law declaring December 31 as the International Solidarity Day of Azerbaijanis.
In 1993, December 31 was declared the Day of Solidarity of World Azerbaijanis in accordance with the presidential decree.
On Nov. 9-10, 2001, the First Congress of World Azerbaijanis was held in Baku. The congress had an impact on strengthening the national identity of our compatriots, increasing the organization and activity of Azerbaijani communities in various countries. This was a new movement in socio-political life of the country, a new direction of state policy.
