IN a historic moment that reverberated across the globe, President Ilham Aliyev’s visit to Karabakh stands as a resolute symbol of Azerbaijan’s unyielding determination and unwavering commitment to liberate its rightful territory. The recent events, culminating in the raising of the Azerbaijani flag in Khankendi city, have sparked a wave of admiration and respect for the resurgent spirit of the Azerbaijani nation.
Karabakh, a region whose status has long been recognized by the international community as part of Azerbaijan, has witnessed a remarkable turn of events, signifying the triumph of justice. The credit for this really goes to President Aliyev who ever since assuming office back in 2003 demonstrated visionary leadership to protect the interests of his country. His vision for a peaceful and prosperous Azerbaijan, underscored by the successful liberation of Karabakh, signifies a monumental milestone in the history of the nation, marking the dawn of a new era of stability and progress.
The people of Pakistan are also jubilant over the raising of the Azerbaijani flag in Karabakh. Pakistan’s consistent and principled position in support of Azerbaijan also underscores the strength of the bond between the two nations, rooted in shared values and a mutual commitment to upholding international law and territorial integrity. The strategic partnership between Pakistan and Azerbaijan, nurtured since the formal establishment of bilateral ties in 1992, has evolved into a multifaceted alliance characterized by mutual trust and shared aspirations. With a common understanding of the challenges faced by both nations, the two countries have consistently stood by each other on matters of core interest, cementing a bond that transcends mere diplomatic relations. We are confident that both countries will continue working together to further strengthen this bond by promoting cooperation in diverse sectors.
As Azerbaijan celebrates the liberation of its sovereign territory, the international community must recognize the significance of this moment as a step towards regional stability and lasting peace. The successful resolution of the former “Nagorno-Karabakh” conflict not only paves the way for reconciliation and reconstruction but also serves as a testament to the resilience and fortitude of a nation that has overcome immense challenges in its quest for justice and sovereignty.
