Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 16 / Trend S. Agayeva /
Novruz holidays in Azerbaijan will last seven days this year, Azerbaijani Cabinet of Ministers press-service head Akif Ali told Trend today.
March 20-24 are officially declared as holidays in Azerbaijan.
Since March 20 and 21 in Azerbaijan this year fall on a Saturday and Sunday, then these two days are automatically transferred to the working days. Thus, March 20-27, 2010 will be non-working days in Azerbaijan, Akif Ali said.
According to the Law of the Azerbaijan Republic dated December 30, 2005 "Amending the Labor Code", if the holidays fall on weekends, they are automatically transferred to the next working days.
