Azerbaijan commemorates fifth anniversary of Fuzuli’s liberation

Today, October 17, marks five years since the liberation of the town of Fuzuli from Armenian occupation.

As Caliber.Az recalls, on October 17, 2020, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces freed the town of Fuzuli and seven villages of the district bearing the same name from Armenian occupation on the 21st day of hostilities in Karabakh. The announcement was made by President Ilham Aliyev in his address to the nation.

"Today, with a feeling of great satisfaction and joy, I want to convey to my dear people the names of more settlements that have been liberated. The following settlements of the Fuzuli district have been liberated from the occupiers: Gochahmadli village, Chiman village, Juvarli village, Pirahmadli village, Musabayli village, Ishigli village, Dadali village, and Fuzuli city. The city of Fuzuli has been liberated from the occupiers; Fuzuli is ours, and Karabakh is Azerbaijan!" President Aliyev declared at the time.

Today, in commemoration of this significant date, President Ilham Aliyev shared a video clip on his social media accounts dedicated to the liberation of Fuzuli.
