“It’s pretty hard to be speaking here today. But we have to tell the truth. Armenian fascists have been committing crimes against us for hundreds of years. Had this crime not been stopped, it would be continuous,” said Hasanov.
“Today, under the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s leadership, the Armed Forces are in high spirits. Our martyrs will be avenged and we will restore the territorial integrity of our country. Let there be no doubt about it,” the minister stressed.
