"The magnificent Victory Parade held on December 10 in Baku's Freedom Square demonstrated the political, economic and military strength of the Azerbaijani state, the will of our people, the determination of our army to win, the unshakable fighting spirit of our soldiers and officers."
This was stated by President Ilham Aliyev in his address to Azerbaijanis around the world. "I once again express my deep gratitude to all the personnel of our victorious army, who gave our people a sense of national pride and joy, the joy of victory, waving our tricolor flag in the liberated lands, in the holy Shusha, the crown of Karabakh.
I bow to the immortal souls of our martyrs and ask God to have mercy on them, and I wish our wounded servicemen a speedy recovery. During the Patriotic War, Azerbaijan prevented disinformation campaigns against our country in the international information space, brought to the attention of the international community the vandalism of Armenia and the policy of terror against civilians. I am confident that we will soon turn our native Karabakh, which was completely destroyed as a result of the Armenian occupation and savagery, into a real paradise. "
