On September 20, an event dedicated to State Sovereignty Day was held with the participation of the first territorial organization of the New Azerbaijan Party at the Institute of Geography after Heydar Aliyev of the  MSE.

The event, which began with the playing of the Azerbaijani anthem, continued with a moment of silence in memory of our martyrs who gave their lives for their homeland.

Then, participants viewed historical footage celebrating Azerbaijan's glorious path to sovereignty.

PhD in geography, Associate Professor Zaur Imrani, acting Director General of the Institute of Geography, noted that September 20 is inscribed in the history of Azerbaijan as an indisputable symbol of statehood, sovereignty, and the just struggle of our people. The Azerbaijani people have long upheld the ideals of freedom and statehood, defending their national identity and sovereignty in the face of all difficulties. The full restoration of sovereignty in the occupied territories as a result of the anti-terrorist operation on September 19-20, 2023, is a brilliant achievement of the heroism and unity of our people. State Sovereignty Day reminds us that defending independence is the responsibility of both the state and every citizen. The future of our homeland will be secure only when we act together, in the national spirit.

Mahbuba Fatullayeva, Deputy Chair of the Primary Territorial Organization of the New Azerbaijan Party of the Institute, delivered a report on "State Sovereignty: From History to the Future."

Then, young people recently admitted to the New Azerbaijan Party were presented with membership cards as a symbol of their devotion to their homeland and national solidarity.

Acting Director of the Institute Imrani noted that the presentation of Party cards to new party members is a manifestation of the belief that Azerbaijan's future is in good hands. The youth's commitment to national values and statehood traditions also demonstrates that they are growing as responsible citizens on the path to developing a free, strong, and modern Azerbaijan.
