He further noted that the heroic soldiers and officers of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, by liberating the country's historic lands, restored not only Azerbaijan's territorial integrity but also its national pride.

In his address, Ambassador Arif Mammadov stated that, under the leadership of the Victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Ilham Aliyev, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces achieved the historic Victory in 2020, as a result of which Azerbaijan's territorial integrity was restored, while historical justice and international law prevailed.

It was further emphasized that, following the full restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and state sovereignty, the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan is now in force throughout every part of the country's territory. Today, the national flag of Azerbaijan flies over every region of the Republic. It was also noted that, under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijan is experiencing the brightest period in its history as a victorious, sovereign and strong state, while continuing to make active efforts towards ensuring regional stability and sustainable development.
