A commemorative event was held in Azerbaijani Martyrs’ Alley on the
14th anniversary of Aghdam’s occupation by Armenian armed forces,
APA reports.

Representatives of Aghdam Executive Power, war veterans and members
of Garabagh Liberation Organization participated in the event.

They visited the graves of people died for Azerbaijan’s territorial
integrity.

Head of Aghdam Executive power Hasan Sariyev told APA that over 6,000
Aghdam residents became martyrs, 500 became handicapped. He expressed
their confidence that the occupied lands will be liberated by military
way, if necessary "Negotiations are being carried out for the peaceful
solution to the conflict. These negotiations can not last long. We
will liberate our lands if Armenians do not change their position. It
is not worth living, if the lands are not liberated," he said. /APA/
