Large enemy contingent was deployed in Talish and Sugovushan, President Ilham Aliyev says

The strategic importance of these villages is that a large enemy contingent was deployed here, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said as he raised the flag of Azerbaijan in Sugovushan settlement of Tartar district, Report informs, citing AzerTag.

"The liberation of these villages also provided us with control over the strategic roads in the region, and also created major difficulties and restrictions for the movement and maneuvering of the enemy's manpower. A large enemy contingent was stationed in the area of Talish village and Sugovushan settlement, and this contingent could not take part in other operations until the last day of the war. First of all, because the strategic roads were already under our control, and secondly, if the enemy had withdrawn its forces from here, the Azerbaijani Army could have moved forward in this direction, of course. Therefore, our tactical steps and maneuverability were deliberate steps, and a large enemy military unit was effectively paralyzed in this direction," the head of state noted.
