Opening the event with an introductory speech, the President of ANAS, Academician Isa Habibbeyli referred to the Victory achieved in the 44-day Patriotic War through the “Iron Fist” of President, Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev as the pinnacle of our country’s millennia-old history.

“The heroism and bravery shown by our army put a definitive end to the 30-year occupation, the just war led by the President concluded in a triumph of justice. With the one-day anti-terror measures carried out in 2023, full territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan were ensured”- said the head of the Academy.

Academician Isa Habibbeyli stated that the threat of losing our territories was completely eliminated with the return of National Leader Heydar Aliyev to the power for the second time in our country. He underlined the strong army-building policy by Heydar Aliyev which was one of the most important tasks he set for the return of our occupied territories.

“The ceasefire regime achieved by the National Leader gave opportunities to President Ilham Aliyev to modernize our army, develop our economy and most importantly, to nurture a new generation of patriots. The head of the country, over these years, strengthened our international reputation worldwide and the failure of peaceful negotiations gave Azerbaijan the basis to return its occupied territories through the determination of war. Both the Victory achieved on the battlefield as a result of the 44-day War and President Ilham Aliyev’s great intellectual superiority on the information front demonstrated the power and leadership of the Victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief. Today, we are recognized by the world as a victorious nation, standing with pride”-said Academician Isa Habibbeyli.
