(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 27. Today, September 27,
exactly two years passes since the beginning of the 44-day second
Armenia-Azerbaijan Karabakh War. The counter-offensive operation in
the Karabakh region became a turning point in the history of not
only Azerbaijan but also the entire region. The Azerbaijani Armed
Forces gained a Victory over the Armenian Army, restored
Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and created a fundamentally new
reality in the region under the leadership of victorious Supreme
Commander-in-Chief, Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev.
The National Day of Remembrance in Azerbaijan is held on
September 27.
The whole country and millions of our compatriots in various
countries remember the martyrs who gave their lives for the
liberation of the Karabakh region from the Armenian occupation. We
revere the memory of hundreds of civilians of Tartar, Barda, and
Ganja cities, who were subjected to treacherous bombardments. We
remember the journalists and civilians who died as a result of mine
explosions in the liberated Azerbaijani territories after the
hostilities ended. And of course, on this day, all of Azerbaijan
remembers tens of thousands of victims of the Armenian occupation,
who died during the first Karabakh war and during 30 years of
attempts to resolve the Karabakh conflict peacefully.
The Armenian aggression inflicted indelible damage on three
generations of Azerbaijanis and this will never be forgotten by
anyone in Azerbaijan. However, at the same time, September 27 not
only is a day of the bitterness of loss and pain but also a day of
national pride.
The Armenian aggression has become an unhealed wound for three
generations of our compatriots, but today, September 27, is the day
when we not only share the bitterness of sorrow, pain and loss
experienced by the nation over the past decades, but also the day
of national pride. The day from which the difficult 44-day journey
of the Azerbaijani people to the historical Victory began.
The 44-day second Karabakh war truly united all of us. Millions
of Azerbaijanis, regardless of nationality, faith and other
characteristics, have united around President Ilham Aliyev and
Azerbaijani army, having passed the most serious test in the recent
history of Azerbaijan. Rallying like one iron fist, Azerbaijan,
under the leadership of the head of state, fulfilled a historic
mission to liberate its territory from invaders. It was thanks to
the efforts, strategy and long-term effective policy of the head of
state that the basis was prepared, which made it possible to
liberate the occupied territories. A stable and developing economy
was built, stability was ensured, a modern and well-equipped army
was formed - all these components of a successful state determined
the success of our country. President Ilham Aliyev formed these
components, and then carried out the historic mission of restoring
the territorial integrity of the country.
Today hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani flags will be waving
from windows, on balconies and streets on September 27, which are
not only a tribute to the memory of martyrs, but is also a symbol
of the unshakeable will of the Azerbaijani people. The flags that
will be waving all over the country on September 27 are also a
reminder: it is hard for us to lose our sons, but we are ready to
defend our country and our just cause to the last drop of blood.
And if the course of events requires, the nation will unite around
its president and the iron fist will again destroy any threat to
Azerbaijan's future.
