Since 1992, November 17 has been celebrated as a National Revival Day in the country. It is related to the events in Baku in November-December 1988. As a result of the Soviet leadership's anti-Azerbaijani policy around the Karabakh issue, the anti-Soviet people's movement was formed in Azerbaijan at the end of the 80s of the 20th century.

On November 17, 1988, long-term rallies of the Azerbaijani people (November 17 - December 5, 1988) began in Azadlig Square (former Lenin Square), considered the main square of Baku.

In Azerbaijan, these events are regarded as a national liberation movement and are considered the main factor in the independence of our Republic.
