Two years passes since liberation of Jabrayil

October 4 marks the second anniversary of one of the glorious victories of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces over the Armenian army in the Second Karabakh War in 2020.

Two years ago, on October 4, 2020, the President of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev tweeted that the Azerbaijani army liberated the city of Jabrayil from the Armenian occupation, Caliber.Az reports.
