November 12th is one of the most significant and value-rich days in the history of Azerbaijan’s statehood. On this day in 1995, the Constitution was adopted through a nationwide referendum, laying the foundation for the political, economic, and social development of independent Azerbaijan. This document embodies the sovereign will of the people and the principles of freedom, justice, and the rule of law, driving the establishment of a modern, democratic, and legal state.
The Constitution clearly defines the rights and duties of both the state and citizens, contributing to stability and transparency in the governance system. It establishes a balanced mechanism for state administration by accurately delineating the division of powers among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. This document plays a crucial role as the foundation for protecting human rights and freedoms, ensuring social justice, and promoting the development of civil society.
The Constitution of Azerbaijan is not only a legal document but also a moral and political symbol that reflects our national values, the spirit of independence, and our determination for statehood. Its adoption has played a vital role in Azerbaijan’s recognition as a democratic and legal state in the international community.
Every year, November 12 is proudly celebrated nationwide.
