Latın qrafikalı Azərbaycan əlifbasının bərpası haqqında Azərbaycan Respublikasının Qanunu (25 dekabr 1991) Geniş müzakirə və elmi diskussiyaların nəticəsi olaraq, 1926-cı ildə Bakı şəhərində keçirilən I Ümumittifaq Türkoloji qurultayın tövsiyəsi ilə Azərbaycan xalqı türk xalqları ilə birlikdə latın qrafikalı əlifbanı qəbul etmişdi. Azərbaycan dilinin səs quruluşu ilə uzlaşıb orfoqrafiya qaydalarının sadələşməsinə imkan açan, qısa müddətdə kütləvi savadlanmaya səbəb olan və xalqlar arasında elmi, mədəni əlaqələri genişləşdirən Azərbaycan əlifbası xalqın iradəsinə zidd olaraq, Mərkəzin təzyiqi ilə 1939-cu ildə kiril əlifbası ilə əvəz olunmuşdu. Bu akt 30-cu illərin kütləvi respressiyasının məntiqi davamı olub, türk xalqlarının milli özünüdərk prosesinin qarşısını almaq, onları tədricən yadlaşdırıb bir-birindən uzaqlaşdırmaq məqsədi güdürdü. Azərbaycan Respublikası Ali Sovetinin Milli Şurası yol verilmiş tarixi ədalətsizliyi aradan qaldırmaq üçün qərara alır: 1. «Azərbaycan əlifbasının latından rus əlifbasına keçirilməsi haqqında» 11 iyul 1939-cu il tarixli Azərbaycan SSR-in Qanunu bu gündən qüvvədən düşmüş hesab edilsin. 2. 1940-cı ilə qədər Azərbaycanda istifadə edilən 32 hərfdən ibarət latın qrafikalı Azərbaycan əlifbası kiçik dəyişikliklərlə bərpa olunsun. Azərbaycan Respublikasının Prezidenti Bakı şəhəri, 25 dekabr 1991-ci il № 33

1992-ci il 2 mart tarixində Azərbaycan Respublikası Birləşmiş Millətlər Təşkilatına üzv qəbul olundu. Bu hadisə ölkəmizin beynəlxalq səviyyədə müstəqil dövlət kimi tanınmasının mühüm addımı idi. Azərbaycan həmin gün BMT Nizamnaməsinin öhdəliklərini qəbul edən rəsmi sənədə imza atdı. Bununla da dövlətimiz dünya birliyinin tamhüquqlu üzvünə çevrildi. 2 mart tarixi Azərbaycan diplomatiyasının qlobal arenaya çıxışının simvoluna çevrilib. Bu gün BMT binasında dalğalanan üçrəngli bayrağımız suverenliyimizin ən qürurlu nişanıdır.

"Kalagayi"

Kalagayi is an inseparable part of the national attire of Azerbaijani women. It is woven from natural silk threads and traditionally dyed using plant-based dyes. The most renowned centers for kalagayi production have been Basgal, Shaki, and Ganja.
The patterns on a kalagayi are not random — each one carries a specific meaning: the “buta” symbolizes abundance and love, the “flower” represents elegance, and the “ivy” stands for life and continuity. The colors also carry symbolic meanings: white signifies purity, red represents love and energy, and black denotes mourning and compassion.
In the past, the kalagayi was not just a piece of clothing, but also held deep spiritual value. It was given to girls as part of their dowry, placed on the bride’s head during the wedding, and sometimes offered as a symbol of reconciliation and respect.
In 2014, “The traditional art and symbolism of Azerbaijani kalagayi” was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Today, the kalagayi is still cherished and preserved as a symbol of both our national identity and refined craftsmanship.

"Ashiq Art"

Ashiq art is one of the main components of Azerbaijan’s ancient and rich oral culture. This art form is a unique blend of music, poetry, dance, and theater harmoniously intertwined. Ashiqs perform their poetry accompanied by the saz (a traditional string instrument), and they narrate epics and stories. They skillfully express the art of words, conveying the spirit and moral values of the people. Ashiqs also play a vital role in preserving the language and literature of the nation. The most common poetic forms found in Ashiq art are qoshma and gerayli. Ashiqs possess the ability to improvise, meaning they can express different themes and emotions in each performance. This art form encapsulates many works that reflect the daily life, history, and culture of the people.
Ashiq art also addresses social issues and events in public life through artistic expression. In 2009, Azerbaijani Ashiq creativity was included in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. This decision ensures the international recognition and preservation of Ashiq art. As a part of the Azerbaijani people’s cultural identity, this art is being passed down to future generations. It is not only respected within the country but is also held in high regard worldwide.
