The establishment of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) is a historical event, said Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev during the official reception on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of ADR.

“For the first time, a democratic republic was created in the Muslim world. We are rightly proud that this republic was created by the Azerbaijani people. This once again shows that Azerbaijani people are a great nation. Azerbaijani people are freedom loving and progressive-minded,” said the head of state.

President Aliyev stressed that the Azerbaijani state highly respects the memory of the ADR founders.

"Upon my decree a monument was erected in Baku’s center a few years ago in honour of ADR,” the president said. “The names of the ADR founders were immortalized."

“This year has been declared as the Year of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in Azerbaijan. Celebrating this anniversary in our country and in many other countries, we have held and are holding big events. These events will be held till the end of the year,” the president added.

"We are rightly proud of this historical event," the Azerbaijani president said.
