Today Azerbaijan marks the second anniversary of local anti-terror measures in the Karabakh region. On the nineteenth of September in 2023, an operation was launched to restore the country’s constitutional order. Lasting less than 24 hours, it enabled Azerbaijan to fully restore its sovereignty.
This victory by the Azerbaijani Army also holds great significance for ensuring lasting peace in the future.
Baku's main objectives were to ensure the implementation of the trilateral statement, prevent large-scale provocations in the Karabakh economic region, and disarm Armenian armed formations from Azerbaijani territory.
Using precision-guided weapons, front-line and rear positions of Armenian armed forces, long-term firing points, as well as combat equipment and military facilities, were destroyed.
During these local anti-terror measures, civilians and civilian infrastructure were not targeted. Armenian military personnel, running low on ammunition, abandoned their combat positions in disarray and panic. During the operation 192 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed.
As a result of these anti-terror measures, Armenia’s illegal military formations surrendered in less than 24 hours. This victory enabled Azerbaijan to fully restore its state sovereignty and territorial integrity and brought an end to separatism in Karabakh.
The successful operation has prevented years of provocations and illegal actions by Armenia.
