“I want to reiterate that it was obvious that the enemy does not want to abandon our lands on its own free will, becomes even more impudent, takes unacceptable steps and makes statements to offend the dignity of the Azerbaijani people. By claiming that `Karabakh is Armenia’, Armenia not only put an end to the negotiations process, it was at the same time an insult to us,” Report informs, quoting President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev telling this on November 8, speaking to servicemen in Shusha.
"The so-called `inauguration’ in the sacred for us Shusha, the crown of Karabakh, was an insult to us. The devil's lair, where this event had been held, was destroyed by the heroic Azerbaijani army during the war. [A plan] to transfer the so-called "parliament" of the notorious body to Shusha was another attempt to offend us. Armenia presumptuously, arrogantly threatened us with new occupation. How longer did we have to endure? Should anyone have taught them a lesson or not? In your person, thousands, tens of thousands of Azerbaijani youth, soldiers, officers displayed courage and heroism to show the enemy its place, put the enemy in a position from where they would never get out. Now they will live forever with the stain of the defeated nation and state," the Supreme Commander-in-Chief emphasized.
