"This is the first attempt to summarize the reasons for Azerbaijan's defeat in the first Karabakh war, to analyze how the country was preparing to de-occupy the Azerbaijani territories, create a corresponding legal framework to resolve the Karabakh problem, conduct economic reforms, and build a modern army," head of the Baku Executive Power, project manager and author of the introduction to the book Eldar Azizov told the TASS correspondent.

In addition, it contains extensive information on the comprehensive reconstruction work that is being carried out in the territories that have come under Baku's control, the construction of highways and railways, airports, power plants, social facilities, and residential complexes. The book talks of the huge works carried out by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and its head, First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva to restore the cultural heritage.

"The book has been written without emotions and contains only facts, statistical data, and analysis of events," Eldar Azizov, who is a historian by education, added.

According to TASS, versions of the book in Azerbaijani and Russian languages have already been published, and now versions in Turkish and English are being prepared for printing. The book aroused great interest among experts on the post-Soviet space who closely followed the events in Karabakh.
