June 1 is International Children's Day.

Every year, in connection with the International Children’s Day, the Complex organizes events for our young visitors, as well as the children of employees working here. This year, a colorful event was held for the young seedlings and various gifts were presented to our children.
Dear children! May your face be always smiling, your sky be clear.

Today is the 104th anniversary of the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.

On May 28, 1918, Azerbaijan declared its independence with the adoption of the “Declaration of Independence.”
The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, as it is known, was the first parliamentary republic in the Muslim East. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic emerged as a logical result of our people’s national awakening process. The names of statesmen, patriotic intellectuals, and professional servicemen will live on in the hearts of our people. It should be noted that the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic has become an example of a new state and society that combines European democratic values with Eastern cultural elements. Granting suffrage, declaring the Azerbaijani language the state language, focusing special attention on the development of education and culture, establishing a regular national army, and other activities fully characterize the scale and significance of the Democratic Republic’s domestic policy. The decision of the Versailles Peace Conference on January 11, 1920 to recognize the de facto recognition of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was Azerbaijan’s greatest foreign policy success. The modern Republic of Azerbaijan, which has entered a new stage of independence after 71 years of Soviet occupation, is now carrying on the honorable work of the Popular Front.
