BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 28. The
Azerbaijani Army launched a counter-offensive operation, later
called the “Iron Fist”, on September 27, 2020, in response to the
large-scale provocation of the Armenian armed forces along the
frontline.
The 44-day second Karabakh war ended with the liberation of
Azerbaijan’s territories from nearly 30-year Armenian occupation
and the restoration of territorial integrity.
First Vice-President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mehriban
Aliyeva has shared a post on her official Instagram account on
another missile attack by the Armenian armed forces on Barda.
“On this day, the armed forces of Armenia have made another
attack inhuman by its cruelty against civilians of the Azerbaijani
city of Barda.
In the aftermath of this strike, 21 persons are killed while 70
people have got serious injuries. The number of victims,
unfortunately, continues its rise.
Such barbaric attacks show that the atrocities of Armenians have
no limits.
Furthermore, each attack on civilian population of Azerbaijan
proves the total moral degradation of insane military and political
leadership of Armenia.
The aim of these attacks is clear: to frighten the Azerbaijani
people and force our Army to give a retaliatory blow into the
territory of Armenia to make possible the engagement of third
parties into the conflict.
Hence, our enemy must know that nothing will oblige us to
reverse from this right pathway. Each strike does nothing but makes
us stronger and convinces us about the necessity of completion of
the Sacred Mission of liberation of the occupied territories from
Armenian aggressors.
I express my deep condolences to the families of the dead and
wish the soonest recovery of the injured.
In these days when the Azerbaijani Army is pressing the enemy on
battlefield, we should keep up our unity and be strongly united
around our President.
Only being united into a staunch fist, we will obtain the
triumphant justice because Karabakh is Azerbaijan!
May Almighty Lord bless our Motherland and the Azerbaijani
people!”
