As a result of the Patriotic War and the anti-terrorist operation, some of the war criminals were eliminated by the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan, while others, especially those considered to be the leaders of the separatists, were detained at different times and brought to justice.

Axar.az reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this during a meeting with representatives of the public of the Khojaly district.

"This is a complete triumph of justice. We have secured justice ourselves; our people, united like a fist, demonstrated tremendous heroism both in 2020 and 2023. We secured justice ourselves through the professionalism, dedication, and courage of our Armed Forces. Of course, bringing war criminals to justice and organizing a fair trial was, I repeat, the final manifestation of justice."
