“Two years have passed since the Azerbaijan Army under the leadership of the victorious Supreme Commander Mr. Ilham Aliyev liberated our lands occupied by the Armenian armed forces for almost 30 years, since the establishment of historical justice, and the restoration of the violated principles of international law. Thanks to the professional leadership skills, determination, steel will of our head of state, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, the heroic deeds of our brave and invincible Army, and the unshakable unity of our wise people, we crossed the glorious war path in just 44 days and reached a bright Victory. Today, Azerbaijan has strengthened its position in the world as a strong and victorious state. At present, the state of Azerbaijan is rebuilding the liberated cities, districts, and villages at the expense of its own power, and is carrying out development and construction works in a fast and planned manner. Unlike before, the region is now dominated by new realities, authored by Azerbaijan, which will stimulate the comprehensive development of the entire South Caucasus and the region in general. These are new tasks that will serve stability, security, mutual cooperation, and economic development, and it is extremely important for Armenia to come to terms with them so that they can live in peace. Azerbaijan strives for the normalization of relations, the signing of a peace treaty between the two countries, and impartial cooperation within the framework of national interests. The Armenian side must also understand the new realities that have arisen, put forth a concrete position, and adequately respond to the peace calls of the victorious Azerbaijan. All this should be done within the framework of Azerbaijan’s sovereignty, security, internationally recognized borders and territorial integrity.”
