He shared his views on the liberation of Shusha from Armenian occupation, Offsideplus.az reports.
- Indeed, today has been one of the most spiritual days, even the first, written in golden letters since the independence of Azerbaijan, and we will celebrate this day every year as a great holiday. The glorious victory was achieved with the great patience, genius and courage of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the selflessness of our army and the martyrdom we gave. No matter how much we thank our army. November 8 is the day of spirituality. Victory Day! I have always visited the families of martyrs and veterans of the Karabakh war. I was always saddened to see that they were disappointed, that there was nothing in their hearts, that they had been homeless since they left their homeland. This historic day will give life to hundreds of thousands of people as their souls are reunited with their bodies. The spirit has almost joined the body, and it is a great feeling of joy.
- What factors played a role in achieving this victory?
- There are many factors. The patience of our people, the trust in the Supreme Leader, the stability and strength of our economy, the bravery of our army, the imported technology - which accurately calculates military targets and destroys military facilities without harming the civilian population. But the biggest reason is the difference between the leadership of Azerbaijan and Armenia. With the great patience, wisdom, weight and genius of our Supreme Commander-in-Chief, he was able to feel the people's pain and find the right time to return the lands to us with the support of the whole world and neighboring countries. This is a great victory. I think the biggest difference is the difference between the leaders of the two countries. This is a source of victory. Of course, the sacrifices, the courage and the martyrs played a special role in this victory.
- Our lands are already being liberated, what should we pay attention to next?
- From now on, the important thing is to heal the wounds, the important thing is to restore the freedom of all our occupied lands and peace in Karabakh, to strengthen our borders. We need to maintain a positive mood not only for 1-2 days but for years. Our businessmen must invest in these lands, each of us must work there and invest. As our Supreme Commander-in-Chief said, unite like a fist. We must show this unity in all areas.
I take this opportunity to thank our doctors. They are also saving lives at a time when the coronavirus pandemic is raging. Today is one of the most spiritual days in the history of Azerbaijan. Patriotism does not mean hating anyone but helping one's country, people and children. For businessmen, patriotism is to give jobs to those around them, to the unemployed, to increase their welfare, and thus to show their support.
- Thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts. Do you have any thoughts in the end?
- I once again congratulate the people of Azerbaijan, the people of Turkey, the whole Turkic world. We are experiencing a historic event. Some people are the children of their parents, and some are the children of history. History makes it happen because such a person is needed at that moment. Ilham Aliyev is the greatest gift given to us by our national leader Heydar Aliyev. Ilham Aliyev is the successor of Heydar Aliyev's works, the liberator of our lands. Once again, I respectfully commemorate our national leader Heydar Aliyev, bow to his spirit and thank Turkey for its moral support. Azerbaijani culture is a unique example of world culture with unity, friendship and brotherhood, hospitality, elders, ethnic and religious tolerance and many historical roots. Let's unite, let's fight, let's improve our country.
