Azerbaijan will return its occupied lands under Ilham Aliyev’s
leadership.
Novosti-Azerbaijan reports that the due announcement was made by Milli
Medjlis deputy Elman Mamedov at an event of the youth association
of the Yeni Azerbaijan party on the 16th anniversary of the Khojali
tragedy.
The deputy, who was the chief of executive powers of Khojaly in the
early 1990s considers that the tragedy in the city was caused by
the absence of normal armed forces and firm political leadership of
the country.
Azerbaijan’s ruling elite and opposition were busy with struggle for
power and Khojaly and its population were left to the mercy of fate.
"The situation has changed profoundly: we now have a professional,
well-equipped and trained army. Each battalion of our armed forces
is able to get to Yerevan.
The same can be said about the political leadership of the country in
the person of President Ilham Aliyev. Azerbaijan has attained great
achievements owing to him, which will promote the decisive victory
over the enemy", E.Mamedov noted.
Mamedov called on the youth to be ready for war for release of
the occupied lands. At the same time, the deputy stressed the need
to intensify political and diplomatic pressure on Armenia, as the
diplomatic efforts of Azerbaijan in the negotiation process may lead
to success only when they are supported by strong armed forces.
