About[]

On 2 December 2020, Ilham Aliyev signed a decree on the establishment of "Victory Day" as a public holiday in Azerbaijan.

On November 10, 2020, the signing of the ceasefire agreement had taken place, ending the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.

However, Aliyev changed the date to 8 November for two reasons: Firstly, it was the day on which Azerbaijani forces seized Shusha, a formerly Armenian-inhabited city in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. Secondly, the previous date overlapped with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's Memorial Day in Turkey, Azerbaijan's closest ally.[2]

On 8 December, Aliyev ruled that a new station in the Baku Metro would be named "November 8".[3]
