WNAM MONITORING: “We demonstrated tremendous heroism during the Second Karabakh War and the anti-terror operation. May Allah rest the souls of our martyrs in peace!” said President Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the people of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the Novruz holiday.
“Thanks to the dedication, professionalism, and heroism of our martyrs, brave soldiers, and officers, we are now building and creating in these lands. Life is returning to these lands. Through extensive construction efforts, we have already facilitated the return of former displaced persons to their ancestral lands, and this process will continue this year,” the head of state emphasized.
The head of state pointed out that after the Second Karabakh War, Armenia sought to maintain its illegal armed formations in Azerbaijani territories permanently and attempted to keep the so-called Nagorno-Karabakh republic alive unlawfully, adding such actions run counter to international law and above all, contradict the will of the Azerbaijani people.
