It was commemorated the following year, in 2009, during the inauguration of President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj.
Also commemorated on this day are the Mongol Empire and Mongolian Statehood, the establishment of the Bogd Khanate during the Qing dynasty, the People’s Revolution of 1921, and the Democratic Revolution of 1990.
