Presidential Library Hosts Event Dedicated to National Flag Day

On November 5, 2026, teachers and students from Lyceum No. 132–134 held a National Flag Day event at the Presidential Library. Before the event, guests received a briefing on the library's activities and main areas of work.

Opening the event with an introductory speech, Ulviyya Naghiyeva, an Azerbaijani language teacher at Lyceum No. 132–134, welcomed the participants and spoke about the holiday's history and its significance from the perspective of national statehood. She thanked the Presidential Library management for creating the conditions to hold the event.

Vafa Musayeva, the first Azerbaijani woman to reach the summit of Everest and wave the Azerbaijani flag there, spoke about the arduous journey and the extreme weather she encountered. Emphasizing the pride of flying the tricolor flag at the summit—and the profound moral responsibility that achievement carries—she urged young people to set ambitious goals, move forward without shying away from challenges, and always keep the tricolor flag held high on the world's peaks.

Gulana Aliyeva, a history teacher at Lyceum No. 132–134, discussed the tricolor flag's adoption during the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, its reinstatement in Nakhchivan on November 17, 1990, and its significance to our statehood. Discussing the ideals of freedom, Turkic identity, and modernity embodied in the flag’s colors, she emphasized that it is a key symbol of our national identity and plays a vital role in fostering patriotism among the younger generation.

During the artistic segment, students from the lyceum presented a staged performance for National Flag Day in the Presidential Library's Reading Room. The performance featured a student choir singing the song "Azerbaijan." Attendees greatly appreciated the literary-artistic composition, which reflected the holiday's significance and the deep connection to our tricolor flag.
