February 26th has been proclaimed as the Azerbaijani Day in the U.S. State of Minnesota.
A relevant proclamation was signed by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on the initiative of Gunel Rallis, chairperson of the Azerbaijani Association of Minnesota.
According to the proclamation, Azerbaijanis living in Minnesota contribute to local culture by preserving and promoting their language, rich national and cultural values and traditions.
In 2016, the House of Representatives of Minnesota passed a resolution commemorating the 24th anniversary of the Khojaly Genocide.
