Prosecutor's Day is observed in Azerbaijan every October 1, celebrating the establishment of the Office of the Public Prosecutor, which began functioning after the country gained independence from the Soviet Union. This professional day has been recognized since 1998, following a presidential decree by then-President Heydar Aliev, marking the anniversary of the inception of prosecutor's offices in Azerbaijan. On this day, Azerbaijani prosecutors receive congratulations from friends, relatives, and authorities, acknowledging their complex roles and the special characteristics required for their profession. Additionally, the President of Azerbaijan issues a decree each year to honor outstanding prosecutors, highlighting the significance of their contributions to the legal system in the country.
