Baku:President Ilham Aliyev has praised the Azerbaijani people for showcasing their moral qualities to the world during the Patriotic War. This statement was part of his congratulatory address to the nation on Victory Day.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, President Aliyev highlighted the extensive fortifications constructed by Armenia in the occupied territories, including multiple defensive lines in certain areas. He noted that every location was heavily mined and fortified with barbed wire, advantageous positions, and natural barriers such as hills and mountains, which posed significant challenges.
The President remarked that Armenia believed Azerbaijan would be unable to reclaim its lands through military efforts, assuming international intervention would prevent such actions. However, he emphasized that these assumptions were proven wrong as the Azerbaijani people demonstrated their strength and resolve, showing the world the greatness of their nation.
