"Novruz in Every Town of my Land- Elimize Novruz Gelir"

Nevruz, which is accepted as the oldest holiday in the world, is celebrated as peace, friendship and brotherhood on March 21 when day and night are equal. It represents the Turks' (Göktürk's) melting of iron from Ergenekon, the arrival of spring, the awakening of nature. It is celebrated annually on March 21 by all Turkish tribes and communities from the 8th century BC to East Turkestan to the Balkans. We do not forget this forgotten holiday Novruz in Azerbaijan has always been a spring holiday that celebrates the revival of nature, moral purity and equality. It was and remains primarily a holiday of the Sun and its earthly representation, Fire. Another ancient Novruz tradition in Azerbaijan, maintained by young people, is to light bonfires on mountain tops at night and remain awake till morning. This custom is called Greeting the Sun and just before dawn the young people sing the song Godukhan in chorus. Just as it has over the millennia, Novruz will come to Azerbaijan again and again
