Azerbaijani leader: A road leading from Armenia to Nagorno Karabakh is under our control

July 16, Fineko/abc.az. Over the last few days the Azerbaijani army has once again demonstrated its advantage.

I believe that this operation will take its place in the glorious history of the Azerbaijani army. Just as in 2016, during the April battles, we taught the enemy a lesson and freed part of the Agder, Fizuli, and Jabrayil districts from it. Two years ago - in 2018 - as a result of the successful Nakhchivan operation, the Azerbaijani army liberated an area of more than 10,000 hectares, and the occupants were expelled from these regions.

ABC.AZ reports that the statement was made by President Ilham Aliyev at a Cabinet Ministers meeting, conducted under his chairmanship.

The head of state noted that the strategic heights taken by the Azerbaijani army allow us to control several localities in Armenia.

"The road leading from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh is under our control. At one time – in the early 1990s - the Armenian forces that occupied part of the territory of Nakhchivan were expelled, expelled from these territories, and the flag of Azerbaijan was raised on these lands," the President stressed.
