A new era is beginning in our country after Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev led his nation into historic victory in 2020 and Azerbaijan liberated its territories after 30 years of occupation. Today, Azerbaijan’s flag is raised over our Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur. This magnificent page in Azerbaijan’s history was written by Ilham Aliyev and the Azerbaijani Army.
This new era is about construction, rehabilitation of our liberated territories, restoration of the material and spiritual values in these territories.
Azerbaijanis will always cherish the memory of their sons who liberated their territories from occupation. Families of martyrs, people who lost their health for the sake of their country’s territorial integrity are always in the focus of attention of the First Vice-President, they are covered by the necessary state care.
Azerbaijani people are looking forward to the Great Return. We are confident that the Great Return will be implemented brilliantly as a result of the efforts of President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva.
I sincerely congratulate Azerbaijan’s First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva on her birthday and wish her success in her great work aimed at the welfare of our Homeland.
