As a result of successful operations of our army, 4 cities (Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Zangilan, and Gubadli), 3 settlements (Hadrut, Minjivan, and Agband), 165 villages and a number of strategic heights, including Murovdagh peak of Murovdagh mountain, were liberated from occupation within a month. Also, the Khudafarin Bridge, which is of great strategic importance and moral value for our country, has been liberated.
On October 22, with the liberation of the Agband settlement of Zangilan, Azerbaijan has fully restored the state border with Iran. This historic event can be assessed as another strategic victory in ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our country. It is important to take full control over the border with Iran. With this step, Azerbaijan put an end to drug smuggling and other illegal activities carried out by Armenians over Nagorno-Karabakh for years.
During the battles, the strategically important village of Sugovushan and the Hadrut settlement were also liberated from the Armenian occupation. After the liberation of Sugovushan village, several regions were supplied with water released from the Sugovushan reservoir. Thus, the water problem of Tartar, Gornaboy, and Yevlakh has been solved, as well as, the ecological balance has been ensured.
The Patriotic War also demonstrated state-people unity and national solidarity in our country. People of Azerbaijan is more united than ever before. Thousands of young people applied to join the army voluntarily. The people of Azerbaijan, united around the Supreme Commander-in-Chief like a fist, have only one goal - to liberate our lands from occupation, to wave our glorious flag in Shusha, Khankendi, and other occupied territories ...
