President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev traveled—with his wife and daughter—to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) on the occasion of Nowruz, and lit a festive bonfire in Shushi town, in the Katarot (Jdrduz) Canyon.

According to Azerbaijani media, Aliyev delivered a message mainly dedicated to the recent Karabakh war.

He stated in particular that he now stands "on the ancient Azerbaijani soil as the commander-in-chief of the victorious army, and from now on no one will be able to force us to leave from here."

Aliyev also stated that, "in these battles the Armenian side suffered hundreds, possibly up to a thousand losses."

"Also, we returned the Aghdam [(Akna)], Kalbajar [(Karvachar)], and Lachin [(Kashatagh)] regions without a single shot," he added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
