Starting from the New Year's Day and going through different other national holidays such as the Changes due to Lunear Calendar, Ramadan or Women's Day, the Azerbaijani people love to celebrate and eat well at the same time. One of the most joyful celebrations occurs on March 20-March 21 and is called the Spring Festival – it is a celebration of rebirth and winter is forgotten. On October 18 the Azerbaijani people celebrate the National Independence Day and this is a good time for old friends and acquaintances to enjoy the day off and exchange visits. Of course, festive lunches and dinners are often scheduled when friends are coming over. On November 17, the National Revival Day is celebrated – it commemorates the first uprising in Azerbaijan by the Popular Front led by Panakhov against Moscow's policies toward Azerbaijan and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (1988). International Solidarity Day occurs on December 31, when Azerbaijanis eliminated the borders that were separating them from Iran.
