Ilham Aliyev: “The enemy was broken on the battlefield”

“The enemy was broken on the battlefield”.

TodayPress TV reports that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made these remarks in his address to the nation from Khankendi on the occasion of Victory Day.

The head of state said that the souls of the soldiers and officers who were martyred in the Patriotic War should rest in peace:

“May Allah have mercy on all our martyrs. At the cost of their lives and blood, and thanks to the heroism of our military personnel, we were able to put an end to the Armenian occupation. For 44 days, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces demonstrated heroism, bravery, patriotism and self-sacrifice. During the 44-day Patriotic War, more than 300 cities and villages were liberated from the enemy on the battlefield. The Azerbaijani flag was raised in those settlements, and as a result, on the night of november 9-10, Armenia was forced to sign an act of capitulation. Thus, the territories that had not yet been liberated on the battlefield at that time were also returned to Azerbaijan without a single shot being fired or a single martyr being lost”.
