“Victory Day is one of the most glorious days of our glorious history, every page of which is a source of pride for us. Our wise people, who never reconciled to defeat, wrote a great epic by liberating East Zangezur and Karabakh from the aggressor Armenia. This victory was possible thanks to the wise decisions made by the people of Azerbaijan. All the steps and decisions taken by Mr. Ilham Aliyev as the head of state during the past years served to liberate our native lands from occupation. This victory is the result of his hard work day and night. The works done by this genius of our history had one goal: mighty Azerbaijan. At the time, it might have seemed utopian to someone, but today all the truths are clear, Azerbaijan is the leading state of the geographical region where it is located.”
Sattar Mohbaliyev, chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation (ATUC), member of the Milli Majlis, expressed these views to the mass media.
“Muzaffar Supreme Commander-in-Chief Mr. Ilham Aliyev formed such an Army that his 44-day battle path became a heroic epic all over the world. It is no coincidence that the combat experience and tactics of our invincible Army are studied with interest in the military schools of the developed countries of the world today. Even the main well-known military experts of the world came to the conclusion that even if the world’s leading country was in front of our Army, it would not be able to take a stand. The high fighting spirit, sense of patriotism, determination of the Azerbaijani soldier will be memorized in languages for many years to come. They did not take a single step back in front of the enemy, they only went forward. It is unparalleled heroism that our wounded soldiers did not leave the battlefield and continued to fight even in that situation. Every soldier thought only of victory, because they went to the front for this purpose. The parents who brought them up and educated them, the teachers who prepared them for life only brought up youth with a fighting spirit. Our soldiers fulfilled their duties to the Motherland with dignity and honesty, and successfully completed their combat missions. Operation “Iron Fist” was remembered not only by the liberation of our lands, but also by the moral defeat of the enemy. The “invincible Armenian soldier” they invented for many years knelt before our soldiers and was defeated. Tens of thousands of Armenian soldiers saved their lives only by running away. Armenian fascism has been destroyed and it is unlikely that they will recover. Unlike Armenia, there was not a single Azerbaijani soldier who avoided the battle and refused. At that time, the whole world witnessed that how our young people formed long queues in front of the military commissariats to participate in the battles, burning with love for the Motherland. They continued this patriotic spirit with selflessness on the battlefield,” said the MP of Milli Majlis.
The chairman of ATUC said that the foundation of our victory is also the unbreakable unity of our people, the unification of their state and its leader like an iron fist: “In general, if we examine all the achievements of our state, it becomes clear that the reason for this is the unity of our people. It is our solidarity that carries us from victory to victory and establishes our success. Our grandfathers inherited for us “Strength is together!” The visible results of the saying are obvious today: a wise people, a strong state. We are sure that thanks to the unity demonstrated by our people, our independence will be eternal, and our state will become even stronger.”
