"100. Anniversary of the renewal of Poland's diplomatic relations and Azerbaijan " - this is the latest issue of Poczta Polska. A stamp worth PLN 3.30 goes to circulation on February 20 in a circulation of 180,000 pieces.

The author of the project, Maciej Jędrysik, presented on the stamp of foreign ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Poland in 1920: Fatali Khan Khojski and Stanisław Patek. In addition, Poczta Polska issued an FDC envelope - the stamps issued on the first day of circulation.

The beginning of Polish-mazerski diplomatic relations dates back to the 15th century, when King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk undertook a delegation sent by the ruler of Azerbaijan in Krakow, Uzun Hasan Aq Qoyunl. On February 13, 1920, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, Stanisław Patek, sent a telegram to his counterpart in the Azerian government, in which he declared that the Republic of Azerbaijan was recognized by Poland as a free and independent state.

Over the past twelve months, Poczta Polska has also commemorated with occasional stamps of the 100th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations with the USA, France, Greece and the Vatican. In addition, in May 2019, a stamp dedicated to Polish architects in Azerbaijan came into circulation.
