Dear compatriots, Exactly one year ago, Armenia committed a military provocation against Azerbaijan and fired on our battle positions and settlements.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from President of Azerbaijan, victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev in his address to the nation on September 27 - Remembrance Day.

"As a result of cowardly fire, civilians and servicemen were killed in the first hours. By my order, the Azerbaijani Army launched a large-scale counter-offensive in response to this bloody crime and won a complete victory in the 44-day Second Karabakh War", he said.
