This is how Azerbaijanis and friends of Azerbaijan celebrated flag and victory day in Budapest! – PHOTOS
Change language:
The Azerbaijani House in Budapest organizes a lot of cultural programs in the Hungarian capital. One of these was an event held in Rákóczi event boat in Budapest on 7 November to celebrate Victory Day (8 November) and the flag day of the country (9 November). The almost 100 partakers present at the event could listen to powerful patriotic songs, amazing piano pieces, moving speeches, and could have thought-provoking chats with Azerbaijani people.
The Day of the State Flag of Azerbaijan is a national holiday in the country, celebrated annually on 9 November. It was established in 2009 by order of President Ilham Aliyev to commemorate the anniversary of the adoption of “The Tricolour Flag” (Azerbaijani: Üçrəngli bayraq) as the flag of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918.
In 2020, the celebrations received additional content. The Azerbaijani armed forces launched their attack to retake Shusha from their Armenian enemies on 6 November. The battle considered the bloodiest in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, lasted until 8 November and finished with Azerbaijani victory. Since then,
8 November is celebrated as Victory Day in the Caucasian country.
Probably that is why so many Azerbaijanis living in Budapest gathered on the Rákóczi event boat near the Vigadó in Budapest. After the national anthems, the evening continued with speeches about last year’s events. Later came a couple of beautifully played piano pieces and some patriotic songs about Karabakh and the army of Azerbaijan.
Ambassador of Azerbaijan: “We have every reason to be optimistic about the two nations’ future”
Most people at the event were young, many of them even brought their small children to the celebration. That is not surprising since the Hungarian state provides 200 scholarships for Azerbaijani students each year. Thus, the Azerbaijani community of Budapest is more than 2,000 currently. Many of them are studying at universities, others work or plan to start a family here.
“Armenian Genocide recognition bill passes first reading at UK House of Commons without objections.” Armenpress.
Israel is considering a similar motion.
UK and Israel may be the next to recognize the Armenian genocide.
Why do Erdogan and Aliyev, these two brutal dictators get favored treatment by DNH?
Azerbaijan is currently torturing Armenian soldiers and killing Armenian civilians in violation of international law.
Is praising of North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un next?
As it is known, Azerbaijan’s dictator and Orbabistan’s autocrat are best friends..
No surprise.
Unlike Soros trolls posting here from some liberal, globalist, Marxist country the same garbage, I have my own opinions about everything. I support Fidesz-KDNP protecting Hungary’s borders and sovereignty, and keep the perverts away from Hungarian children. I am disgusted with the Fidesz-KDNP getting too mushy with brutal, Islamist dictators that murder their own Muslim population and murder Christians. Erdogan and Aliyev want to complete the Armenian genocide. They are brutal. I also disapprove of Fidesz-KDNP getting too chummy with communist China. Hungary is a small country and we will not be changing communist China but there is no need to be their “csicska”. The Fudan University is so disgusting.
Having said all that, I will vote for Fidesz-KDNP because the Gyurcsány-Dobrev-Apró gang led opposition is the enemy of Hungarian people. They would destroy Hungary. No sane Hungarian would vote for them.
