UK's new ambassador congratulates Azerbaijan

UK's newly appointed ambassador to Azerbaijan, Duncan Norman, has congratulated Azerbaijan on the occasion of Independence Day, Report informs.

"On May 28, 1918, Azerbaijan established the first secular, democratic republic in the Muslim East. At a time when much of the world had not yet embraced these ideas, women's right to vote was recognized in the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, a parliament was established, and a modern state was built. I am still at the very beginning of my journey in Azerbaijan. But the one thing I know is that this country has deep roots and its people carry this history with pride. Happy Independence Day, Azerbaijan! A flag once raised shall never fall," the ambassador said in a video on X.
