About

On 2 December 2020, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, signed a decree on the establishment of Victory Day as a public holiday in Azerbaijan. The day of the signing of the ceasefire agreement ending the war, and its entry into force by Azerbaijan Time, 10 November, was to be celebrated in Azerbaijan as the Victory Day.[2] The next day, this order was cancelled.[3] The holiday's celebration date was changed to 8 November, the day the Azerbaijani forces seized control Shusha, as the previous date overlapped with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's Memorial Day in Turkey.[4] On 8 December, it was announced that the new station in the Baku Metro will be named "November 8" at the suggestion of Aliyev.[5]
