Azerbaijani troops under President Aliyev’s leadership giving worthy response to occupation forces – Turkish government
By Trend
The Azerbaijani troops are giving a worthy response to the occupation forces in all directions of the front under the leadership of Azerbaijani President, Supreme Commander Ilham Aliyev, the Turkish government told Trend on Nov. 8.
“Azerbaijan’s achievements, including the liberation of Shusha city, make Turkey happy,” the Turkish government said. "Shusha is the native land of Azerbaijan and this city has been liberated from the Armenian occupation today."
The Turkish government added that Azerbaijan, independently liberating its territories, actually fulfills the requirements of the relevant UN Security Council’s resolutions.
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev announced that the Shusha city was liberated on Nov.8.
"With a feeling of boundless pride I state that Shusha city has been liberated from occupation! President Aliyev said while addressing people. “Shusha is ours! Karabakh is ours! I cordially congratulate the entire Azerbaijani people on this occasion! I cordially congratulate all Shusha residents!"
Armenian Armed Forces launched a large-scale military attack on
positions of Azerbaijani army on the front line, using
large-caliber weapons, mortars and artillery on Sept. 27.
Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire
front. Currently, Azerbaijan continues the liberation of its
territories from Armenian troops.
Back in July 2020, Armenian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire in
the direction of Azerbaijan's Tovuz district. As a result of
Azerbaijan's retaliation, the opposing forces were silenced. The
fighting continued the following days as well. Azerbaijan lost a
number of military personnel members, who died fighting off the
attacks of the Armenian Armed Forces.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, Armenian Armed Forces occupied 20
percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council
resolutions on the withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno
Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
