President Ilham Aliyev: We have written a new history of our people, a glorious history of heroism
We have written a new history of our people, a glorious history of heroism, and today great construction work is being carried out in the liberated lands, major infrastructure projects are being implemented, President Ilham Aliyev said after raising the Azerbaijani flag in Hadrut settlement.
Speaking about the atrocities committed by Armenians in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, the President said: “Let some foreign circles, which protect them today and stand behind them today, open their eyes and see what Armenian atrocities have done to our cities. All our cities have been destroyed, all our villages, historical monuments have been destroyed, mosques, graves have been destroyed, unprecedented vandalism and barbarism have been committed. We have only liberated our lands. "
The head of state noted that Armenians from Armenia and foreign countries were illegally brought and settled in Hadrut settlement. But this settlement is safe, not a single building has been destroyed, not a single building has been burned.
"This is the approach of the Azerbaijani Army, this is our moral code. What did the Armenians do? They destroyed all our buildings, our mosques. They kept animals in mosques. They have insulted our sacred monuments. From November 10 to December 1, those houses built by Azerbaijanis - Armenians lived there illegally - were burned, destroyed and deforested. They destroyed hydroelectric power plants. That"s the difference. The Azerbaijani soldier is a soldier with high moral qualities, and the instructions given to the soldier and all servicemen have been fulfilled. "I said that we have never fought a war with the civilian population, and now everyone sees it," he said.
President Ilham Aliyev said that we have returned here today as the owners of these lands, and the Azerbaijani flag is flying in all liberated lands: “Today, as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of our Victory Army, I raised our national flag in Hadrut settlement. This flag will fly here forever. We Azerbaijanis will live forever in our ancestral lands. We will rebuild all the destroyed cities and villages, life will return, people will return, and we will once again show the world the greatness of our people. "
