Undecided questions
Do you know Holidays in Azerbaijan?

 

Of course, some holidays seem to survive all eras, regardless of the political or social changes that take place. For example, Noruz Bayram (Celebration of Spring-March 20-21) is vibrant today despite the many prohibitions against it during the Soviet period [See AI 2.2, Spring 1994, "Noruz - Celebration That Would Not Die"]

Similarly, International Women's Day, March 8, a holiday closely associated with Communist ideology, is very much alive today although all the other Soviet holidays have long since been erased. Even during the Soviet period, Women's Day had gradually become disassociated with political ideology. Men seem to enjoy having an excuse to formally express their admiration to women, whether it be their mothers, sisters, colleagues or friends.
