Â NCSJ - Azerbaijan page

Azerbaijan appears to be recovering from the sharp economic downturns of the post-independence period and the 1998 Russian financial crisis, both of which were aggravated by the ongoing conflict with Armenia.
AzerbaijanÂ’s distrust of Russia stems from the transfer of large quantities of Russian-made arms to Armenia during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
With the collapse of the Russian empire, a reunited Azerbaijan declared its independence in 1917, only to be re-conquered by the Red Army in 1920.

Â About Azerbaijan

On August 30, 1991, Azerbaijan’s Parliament adopted the Declaration on the Restoration of the State Independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and on October 18, 1991, the Constitutional Act on the State Independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan was approved.
Within two years of declaring independence, however, Russia again asserted its rule over Azerbaijan.
After the annexation of Georgia in 1801, the Russian Empire began the process of occupation of the Azerbaijani khanates, and by 1828, after two Russian-Persian wars, Azerbaijan was split into two parts.

Â Russian Calendar History

A new calendar was introduced, in which the weeks were changed and all religious feasts and holy days were replaced by five national public holidays associated with the Revolution.
This new plan provided for a 12-month year with the same holidays as before and the same extra day for leap years, but a new week of six days was introduced wherein the rest-day came regularly on the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th and 30th of the month, in addition to the five national holidays.
From 1940 onward, official Russia returned to the Gregorian calendar with its seven-day week, using Sunday as a rest-day.By this latest action the government returned to the idea of Lenin, and Russia is once more using the same calendar as "all the civilized countries of the world."
