These meetings praised the ongoing reforms as well as the measures implemented during the pandemic.

The reason for our losses is the inability to take lessons. The author emphasizes that Azerbaijani officials settle in London, New York, and the Armenians in Karabakh. If the period of occupation lasts so long, then there is no time to resolve the Karabakh issue. However, silence teaches people to give up, the author believes. There is only one way out - war and there is no alternative.
