Happy National Day Austria

Tweet

Austria’s National Day, 26 October commemorates the State Treaty restoring national sovereignty and the end of occupation when the last WWII troops left Austria and the passage of the law on permanent neutrality. Therefore de facto the first day Austria was again an independent and sovereign country. As the status of permanent neutrality was the condition upon which the Soviet Union had agreed to the signing of the State Treaty, the Austrian Parliament also chose this very special day to pass the law on permanent neutrality to mark the fact that it was taking a unilateral and independent decision. October 26 has become a patriotic “fitness day”, as many people all over Austria take long walks. Around the country so called “marches for fitness” are organized to raise awareness among the population about the benefits of exercise and fitness.  The Parliament building and all national museums are open and visits free to the public. Famous for its spectacular mountain scenery, Austria’s position at the geographical heart of Europe on the key Danube trade route enhances its strategic importance.  In Austria you don’t need to search hard for culture. Beginning with Mozart, Schubert and Strauss works, continuing with Sigmund Freud and Ludwig Wittgenstein’s influences in the 20th century thinking, and ending with Vienna’s impressive Habsburg palaces and Salzburg’s baroque splendour, Austria shows off its heritage at every turn.

Azerbaijan - 21st Independence Day

Tweet

Today - October 18 - is marked as the State Independence Day inAzerbaijan.

Thanks to favorable historical condition established after collapse of the Soviet Union in late 20th century Azerbaijani people gained its independence in the 20th century for the second time. It was the second prominent achievement in Azerbaijani people's political history.

As a result of the activity of the democratic powers in Russia it was impossible to suppress non-subordination to the central power and independence wish in the republic. At the extraordinary meeting called under the people's will on June 30, 1991, the Supreme Council of the Azerbaijani Republic adopted a declaration about restoration of Azerbaijan's state independence.

Constitutional Act "About the State Independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan'" was adopted at the session of the Supreme Council of the Azerbaijani Republic on Oct.18, 1991.

The referendum was held in Azerbaijan on Dec.29. The referendum's bulletin reflected a question: "Do you support the Constitutional Act "About the State Independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan" adopted by the Supreme Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan?"

The Azerbaijan people unanimously supported the state independence.

In May 1992 Azerbaijani parliament adopted the State Hymn (music by Uzeyir Hajibeyov, words by Ahmed Javad) of the Azerbaijan Republic and soon after it, three colored flag and the state anthem in the form of eight-point star with fire in the centre of it.

Azerbaijan is an independent and a sovereign state since Oct.18, 1991 and people celebrate it as a holiday.
