I said back then that I knew how to do something and when to do it – President Ilham Aliyev

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 15. The people of
Azerbaijan showed great confidence in me 20 years ago, and over
these years I have always felt it. And this confidence has further
grown. Today, the words I said during the occupation and the words
people have been repeating are the biggest reward for me. I said
back then that I knew how to do something and when to do it, said
President Ilham Aliyev as he made a speech after raising the
national flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the city of
Khankendi.

“Even when the Second Karabakh War stopped, the people of
Azerbaijan knew that I knew this. Less than three years have passed
since that day, and we are here today, in Khankendi, in the center
of Khankendi, standing under the Coat of Arms and the Flag of
Azerbaijan. It is a great happiness and a historic event. Perhaps
it is not right for me to talk about history now because we lived
this history. We created this history. The people of Azerbaijan won
such a Victory that it has become known to all, and this Victory
will be with us forever. This Victory will forever be in our
history. The generations that will follow us will forever and
rightfully be proud of this Victory,” President Ilham Aliyev
said.
