Today, Azerbaijan celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Great Victory in Karabakh – Victory Day.

On September 27, 2020, in response to Armenia’s next military aggression, the Azerbaijani people launched the Patriotic War under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, in order to liberate the occupied lands. During the 44-day battles, the brave Azerbaijani Army advanced step by step, breaking through the engineering and fortification systems built by Armenia over many years, and our lands were liberated at the cost of the blood and lives of our heroic soldiers and officers, our martyrs.

It should be noted that Victory Day was established on December 3, 2020 by a Decree signed by the Victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Ilham Aliyev. According to the decree, the day of the liberation of Shusha from occupation – November 8 – is solemnly celebrated as Victory Day in the Republic of Azerbaijan. On behalf of the “Neftchi” Sports Club, we sincerely congratulate our people on the occasion of Victory Day! Happy Victory, Azerbaijan!
