The day was first advanced on 16 December 1991 by then-Chairman of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Supreme Assembly Heydar Aliyev. The different governments that have been in power since Azerbaijan's autonomy from the Soviet Union have all denoted that day. Aliyev raised the issue before the Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan SSR to proclaim that date an occasion at state level. The occasion in the end picked up a state status in 1992, with Abulfaz Elchibey's presidential decree.
