During the war (Civil War), I had interviews with foreign media representatives. But of course, I couldn't say anything about our war plans. Simply, once I was asked about Shusha, I said that without Shusha our work would be incomplete. I think everyone understood that we will not stop until Shusha is released.

Axar.az reports that the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said this during his speech at the ceremony of presenting the keys to the apartments to the first residents who returned to Shusha.

"Shush is a symbol of our indomitable spirit. Shusha left such a big mark in the hearts of every Azerbaijani citizen that it was impossible for the war to end successfully without Shusha," the head of state added.
