Residents of Azerbaijan will have a shorter work week this week, with a total of three consecutive non-working days scheduled. This adjustment is due to the observance of June 26, which is officially designated as Armed Forces Day in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
According to the official calendar, June 26 falls on a Friday this year, which is recognized as a public holiday. As this date is followed by the standard weekend of June 27 and 28, citizens will benefit from a three-day break, resulting in a four-day work week.
Armed Forces Day is a significant national holiday in Azerbaijan, commemorating the establishment of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in 1918. The day is traditionally marked by various military ceremonies, public events, and tributes to the nation's servicemen and women who ensure the security and territorial integrity of the country.
