Baku / 09.11.20 / Turan: In connection with the successful operation to liberate the city of Shusha, the leader of the opposition Popular Front Party Ali Karimli made a statement. In it, he welcomed the determination of Ilham Aliyev to go to the end, despite the pressure from international circles trying to stop the victories of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.
He expressed satisfaction that Ilham Aliyev did not succumb to pressure and, relying on his people, went to the end, and the Azerbaijani Army hoisted a flag over Shusha.
“This is a great victory, and on this occasion I congratulate the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev,” Karimli said.
In turn, the Honorary Head of the National Independence Party Etibar Mammadov also congratulated Ilham Aliyev and the National Army on the liberation of Shusha.
"This victory returned to the people a sense of national dignity. This victory was a lesson not only for the invaders, but also for their sponsors. This victory opened the way for the enemy to sign an act of surrender, which will be signed by force of arms and the blood of our military and will bring peace in the Caucasus. I congratulate you. As the supreme commander of the army, carrying out the operation to enforce peace, I wish you success in this difficult but happy mission - the leader of the Winner Army and the Winner Nation," Mammadov said. -02D-
