Azerbaijan envoy underscores his nation’s commitment to peace

Azerbaijan ambassador Khazar Farhadov speaks at a victory day reception in Islamabad on November 7, 2023. He said November 8 signified not only a military victory but also a triumph of the Azerbaijani people's determination to protect their sovereignty and territorial integrity. He said on September 27, 2020, Armenia launched attacks on Azerbaijani civilians and military positions, sparking a counter-offensive by Azerbaijan in defence of its homeland. Further emphasising the nation’s commitment to peace, the envoy described Azerbaijan’s recent military actions in Garabagh on September 19-20, 2023, which resulted in the swift restoration of sovereignty over the region. Mr Farhadov also outlined the steps taken by Azerbaijan to build a sustainable future in the aftermath of the conflict.
