Azerbaijan is celebrating the victory in the Karabakh war and the restoration of historical justice. The heroic Azerbaijani army, having liberated the occupied lands of the country, gave the people the joy of the victory.
Trend presents photographs that reflect the great joy the residents of Baku are experiencing in connection with this historical event.
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and President of the Russian Federation made a joint statement. A complete ceasefire and a cessation of all hostilities in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict shall be introduced at 00:00 hours Moscow time on 10 November 2020.
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.
