A quick comment about the listing of Azerbaijan's Constitution Day. This was cancelled as a public holiday 3 years ago, in 2006 (http://www.qppstudio.net/public-holidays-news/2006/azerbaijan_001036.htm). For quasi-realtime updated lists of worldwide public holidays, see: http://www.qppstudio.net/public-holidays-news-updates/most_recent.htm.

Thanks for the update. It appears from that news article you linked to that it still exists as a "holiday", but that workers don't get the day off, a bit like Flag Day and Presidents Day in the U.S.

"Flag Day" seems a good analogy.
"Presidents Day" would not be as many governement agencies are closed on that day in the US, as are many stock and commodities markets (the NYSE and the NASDAQ, for example).
In Azerbaijan on Constitution Day everyone is working.
