“The historic victory in the 44-day Patriotic War was a logical outcome of the great successes achieved under the leadership of President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in all areas, as well as his thoughtful policy, determination and principal stance. This Victory once again demonstrated that the people closely united around the Leader, who values national interests above all, is able to resist the whole world, break down the stereotypes formed in international relations, and restore historical justice by bringing the enemy to their knees,” said head of the Presidential Administration Samir Nuriyev as he addressed the conference themed "20 Years of Unparalleled Services to Motherland, People and Statehood" dedicated to the activities of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during his presidency.

“Under the leadership of President of Azerbaijan, Victorious Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan have once again demonstrated their professionalism and ability to carry out their tasks at the highest level both in the Patriotic War and during local anti-terrorist measures,” Samir Nuriyev underlined.
