ASCCA Marks 28 May – Independence Day
The Academy of the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan (ASCCA) held a commemorative event dedicated to 28 May – Independence Day.
The event began with a minute of silence in memory of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan, followed by the performance of the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
A video dedicated to 28 May – Independence Day was then screened.
Addressing the participants, Head of ASCCA, Major General of the Customs Service Gulu Novruzov, spoke about the historical significance of Independence Day, emphasizing that the republic established 108 years ago represents the continuation of Azerbaijan's statehood traditions. He noted that under the leadership of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev, the Azerbaijani state was strengthened and that, as a result of the policies pursued by President Ilham Aliyev, the country's sovereignty has been fully restored. He also wished the Azerbaijani people continued peace, prosperity, and well-being.
Speaking at the event, Samir Hasanov, PhD in History and lecturer at ASCCA, discussed the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the achievements made in the field of state-building. He emphasized that, as the successor to the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, Azerbaijan is currently experiencing the strongest period in its history.
The event continued with a presentation by Amina Ahmadova, a fourth-year ASCCA student majoring in Law, on "The Declaration of Independence of Azerbaijan."
The event concluded with a recitation of Nariman Hasanzade's poem "Azerbaijan" by Ismayil Dadashzade, a first-year ASCCA student majoring in International Trade and Logistics.
