Today is Fuzuli City Day; five years have passed since the city was liberated from occupation.

Axar.az reports that on October 17, in addition to the city of Fuzuli, 7 more settlements of the region - the villages of Gochahmadli, Chiman, Juvarli, Pirahmadli, Musabeyli, Ishigli, and Dadali - were cleared of invaders.

The Fuzuli operation was one of the most important battles of the Azerbaijani Army on the southeastern front in the Second Karabakh War.

The enemy fled the area, suffering significant losses of manpower and equipment.

Moreover, the breakthrough of several defense lines located on the former line of contact of Fuzuli created ample opportunities for the Azerbaijani Army to advance along the southern front.

It should be noted that Fuzuli, one of the largest settlements in Azerbaijan, was founded in 1827. Based on the settlement called Garabulag, the Fuzuli region was organized in 1930 and named Qaryagin. The district center is the settlement of Garyagin, and it includes the villages of Gozluchay, Kondalanchay, Araz Boyu, and both sides of the Fuzuli-Agdam highway. In 1959, on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the great Azerbaijani poet Mahammad Fuzuli, the district was renamed Fuzuli district. The area of ​​the district is 1,386 square kilometers. It includes one city and 78 villages.

On August 23, 1993, as a result of the attack of the Armenian Armed Forces on the territory of the district, 58 villages, including the city of Fuzuli, were occupied.

Fuzuli district is rich in historical and religious monuments, especially tombs. Fuzuli district, along with other settlements, was subjected to vandalism during the Armenian occupation. Houses and historical monuments in the district were destroyed, and trees were destroyed.

According to the decree signed by President Ilham Aliyev on July 31, 2023, Fuzuli City Day is solemnly celebrated on October 17 every year.
