An event related to “May 28 - Independence Day” was held at Azerbaijan University. In the event organized by the Department of Political and Social Sciences, the establishment and activities of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) and the measures implemented in the field of State Building within 23 months of its existence were reviewed. It was noted that the establishment of ADR is one of the important pages in the history of Azerbaijan's statehood. 

It was noted that the modern Azerbaijani state, the successor of the ADR, has been confidently advancing on the path of independence for 33 years, successfully continuing its ideals and rich statehood traditions. The merits of the founders of the Republic have always been highly appreciated by the Azerbaijani state and people. In 2017, President Ilham Aliyev signed an order “On the 100th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic”, and 2018 was declared the “Year of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic” in Azerbaijan. May 28 has been established as “Independence Day” in Azerbaijan. This significant event is celebrated with great pride and widely every year in Azerbaijan and beyond.
