Mövzu: Victory Day (the 8th of
November)

Under the leadership of President of the Republic

of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of
the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev, the Azerbaijani
Army has achieved incredible success in the
victory march launched on September 27, 2020 to
prevent successive provocations and new
occupation plans of Armenia and liberate our
occupied lands.
As a result of 44 days of military operations, the
brave Azerbaijani Army liberated the cities of
Jabrayil, Fizuli, Zangilan, Gubadli, Minjivan,
Agband, Bartaz settlements of Zangilan region,
Hadrut settlement and many villages of
Khojavend region, Sugovushan village of Tartar
region, several villages of Khojaly and Lachin
regions. In total, more than 300 settlements,
including important strategic heights in the
direction of Aghdara, Murovdagh and Zangilan,
were liberated from occupation.
On November 8, after 28 years of longing, the
city of Shusha, which is of great importance and
symbolic meaning for the people of Azerbaijan,
was liberated from occupation. The liberation of
Shusha, the crown of Karabakh, was one of the
unique military operations in the history of world
war.
Azerbaijan's military victories, especially the
liberation of Shusha from enemy occupation,
played a decisive role in the fate of the war. All
these resulted in Armenia's recognition of its
defeat and capitulation.
By the Order of the President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev dated December 3, 2020,
it was decided to solemnly celebrate November 8
as Victory Day in the Republic of Azerbaijan every
year in order to perpetuate this unprecedented
victory, which has become a celebration of the
power of our people and our national pride.
By another order of the President of the Republic
of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev dated December 3,
2020, it was decided to establish a memorial
complex and Victory Museum in Baku to
demonstrate the unparalleled heroism and great
historical victory of the Azerbaijani people in the
Great Patriotic War.
On November 2020, after 28 years of longing, the
city of Shusha, which has great historical
importance and symbolic meaning for the people
of Azerbaijan, was liberated from occupation.
Azerbaijan's victories in the military field,
especially the liberation of Shusha from enemy
occupation, played a decisive role in the fate of
the war, and resulted in Armenia's recognition of
its defeat and capitulation.
With the Decree of the President of the Republic
of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev dated December 3,
2020, it was decided to solemnly celebrate
November 8 every year as Victory Day in the
Republic of Azerbaijan in order to perpetuate this
unparalleled victory, which is of exceptional
importance in terms of the reputation and future
development of our state, and which became a
celebration of our people's power and national
pride.
We pray God to have mercy on the souls of our
martyrs who gave their lives for their Motherland
and wish health to our veterans!
In accordance with the decree signed by
President Ilham Aliyev on December 3, 2020,
titled “On the Establishment of Victory Day in the
Republic of Azerbaijan,” November 8 is
commemorated as Victory Day in Azerbaijan.
On September 27, 2020, in response to large-
scale provocations by Armenian armed forces
along the frontline, the Azerbaijani Army
launched a counter-offensive operation known as
“Iron Fist.” This 44-day Second Karabakh War
brought an end to nearly thirty years of
occupation of Azerbaijani territories and restored
the country’s territorial integrity.
The liberation of Shusha, the cultural gem of
Karabakh and cherished by every Azerbaijani, on
November 8 played a pivotal role in the outcome
of the war. This Victory led to the defeat of
Armenia’s political and military leadership and
the cessation of hostilities.
The operation to liberate Shusha will forever be
remembered in history. As the heart and crown of
Karabakh, Shusha was a natural fortress, making
it impossible to enter the city with tanks or heavy
weaponry. There were two options to reclaim the
city. The first involved destroying the Armenian
forces in the city through air strikes and artillery,
but the command rejected this approach due to
the potential for massive destruction. Instead,
Azerbaijani forces opted for hand-to-hand
combat. Azerbaijani soldiers and officers
navigated through dense forests, rocks, and
mountains with light arms, engaging the
Armenian armed forces in face-to-face combat
and ultimately securing Victory.
Given the historical significance of Shusha and its
liberation, this unprecedented Victory has
become a powerful symbol of Azerbaijani
resilience and strength, carrying profound
importance for the nation’s future development
and prestige.
On November 10, 2020, President Ilham Aliyev of
Azerbaijan, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of
Armenia, and President Vladimir Putin of Russia
signed a trilateral statement declaring a
complete ceasefire. Under the terms of the
statement, Agdam was liberated on November
20, Kalbajar on November 25, and Lachin on
December 1, without further conflict or loss of
life. The statement also announced the
construction of new transportation routes to
connect the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic
with Azerbaijan’s western regions.
Azerbaijan’s military Victory ultimately forced
Armenia to capitulate.
Following the 44-day Patriotic War, President
Aliyev extended an offer of peace to Armenia,
aiming to secure lasting stability in the region.
However, Armenia declined Azerbaijan’s hand of
peace and continued provocations on Azerbaijani
territory. In response, Azerbaijan undertook
localized anti-terror measures. In less than 24
hours, Armenian separatists surrendered to the
Azerbaijani Army.
Consequently, Armenian armed units, along with
illegal armed formations, surrendered their
weapons, abandoned their positions, and were
fully disarmed. The illegal junta regime in
Karabakh was dissolved, key separatist leaders
were detained, and Azerbaijan restored full
sovereignty over its entire territory.
This day commemorates Azerbaijan’s victory in
the Second Karabakh War. Established by the
Presidential Decree of the Republic of Azerbaijan
on December 2, 2020, this date honors the return
of the city of Shusha to Azerbaijani control.
The Turkic Academy sincerely congratulates the
brotherly Azerbaijani people on this significant
holiday – Victory Day!
We extend our deep respect to the courage and
resilience demonstrated by the Azerbaijani
people on their path to justice. May Victory Day
strengthen the bonds between Turkic nations,
inspire us towards new achievements, and
promote peace and prosperity for our countries.
According to the training plan of the current
year, the Azerbaijan Army conducted a series of
events to mark the 4th anniversary of 8
November - Victory Day.
Servicemen paid their reverence at the Alleys of
Martyrs, laying flowers on the graves of Heroes,
who had given their lives for the sovereignty,
territorial integrity and independence of
Azerbaijan.
The events commenced with commemorating the
bright memory of the National Leader of the
Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev and Martyrs,
who sacrificed their lives for the sovereignty of
Azerbaijan. The National Anthem of the Republic
of Azerbaijan accompanied by military orchestras
was performed.
In the course of these events, speakers
highlighted the significance of the historic victory
achieved by the Azerbaijan Army during the 44-
day Patriotic War under the leadership of the
Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the role of the
people in gaining the Victory, bravery shown by
the Heroes, and the fact that the memory of the
Martyrs will never be forgotten.
