Dec. 31 is celebrated as the National Solidarity Day of World Azerbaijanis.
More than 50 million Azerbaijanis live worldwide.
The Azerbaijani diaspora organizations operate in many countries.
Establishment of the Republic of Azerbaijan gave a strong impetus to enhancing role of Azerbaijanis in society and increased their self-consciousness. The need to national revival and strengthening national ties has increased.
According to the presidential decree signed in 1993, December 31 was announced Day of Solidarity of World Azerbaijanis.
