Denmark's capital Copenhagen held an event on the occasion of Republic Day devoted to the ninety-second anniversary of the Azerbaijani Democratic Republic at Town Hall Square. The event was held with the organizational support of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Great Britain, which is also accredited to Denmark, the European-Azerbaijani Society and the Azerbaijani Community in Denmark.

Guests were also informed about Azerbaijani ancient and modern history, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the consequences of Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan.
