“We fought on our territory. Our war was a liberation war,” said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, speaking at a panel discussion on “overcoming mountains? Building security in the South Caucasus” as part of the Munich Security Conference.
“… Our war was not an occupational war. And therefore, there was not a single person in our army who would leave the battlefield. For forty -four days, when our cities and villages were fired at Iskander missiles, no one He left the battlefield. And in Armenia there were 11 thousand deserters. Why? Not because they lost on the battlefield. Because their war was an occupational war. There was no motivation, ”said the head of the Azerbaijani state.
