Lachin was occupied in May 1992 - 10 days after the occupation of Shusha. This was one of the most tragic events of the First Karabakh War, because as a result of this, a land connection was established between Armenia and the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, which allowed the transportation of a large amount of weapons from Armenia to our lands, and the entry of numerous military personnel.

Axar.az reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this during his speech at the international forum on "COP29 and Green Vision for Azerbaijan".

"The liberation of Lachin was also an indication of our strong political will. Most of Lachin was liberated by political means. During the Second Karabakh War, we liberated the southern part of the Lachin region, and this was an important military victory. However, most of the region, including the city of Lachin, was politically Thus, when I say that the occupied territories were liberated by military and political means, Lachin is a clear example of this.

At the moment, we are continuing politically. I am sure that we can achieve all our goals by political means and we are demonstrating that," the President added.
