“We liberated the districts of Aghdam, Kalbajar, and Lachin without a single shot being fired. Following that, through purposeful and well-thought-out policies and decisive actions, we significantly strengthened both our political, strategic, and military strategic positions,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his address to the nation on the occasion of Victory Day, Report informs via AZERTAC.

After securing control over key highlands, the head of state stated that the fate of the separatist group, along with those backing them in Karabakh and Armenia, was clear. The President emphasized that, despite being given a choice, they failed to make the right decision. “The anti-terror operation carried out in September 2023, which lasted only a few hours, was yet another lesson for them.
