"We will forever live as a victorious nation and as a victorious state. But in order to achieve this glorious victory, we had to work day and night and gather strength. Because the power factor is in the forefront in the present-day world," said President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Victorious Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev at the opening of the command military unit on the sidelines of his visit to Kalbajar district on June 26 - Armed Forces Day, APA reports.
"The norms and principles of international law do not work. In fact, international organizations continue to operate only formally. Justice was on our side, international law was on our side, and our lands were under occupation. But no-one told the occupier, “Get out of Azerbaijan!” Therefore, we had to gather strength to fulfill this task on our own, and we did exactly that. We gathered political strength and increased our power in the international arena. We proved to the whole world that Karabakh is Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani people would never put up with this occupation. We gathered economic power and gained economic independence. If we had not had economic independence, if we had not had these opportunities, how could we wage war? Therefore, economic independence and rapid development brought us closer to victory," stressed head of state.
