At the beginning of the event, there was a minute of silence to honor the memory of our soldiers and officers who struggled heroically for the liberation of Azerbaijani territories from occupation, raised the Azerbaijani flag in our liberated lands, and sacrificed their lives for the territorial integrity of our country.
The director of the library Mayil Ahmadov opened the commemoration ceremony and noted that starting from 2020, September 27 is annually observed as Remembrance Day in diplomatic corps and Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations operating in the Republic of Azerbaijan and abroad. He informed that as a result of the 44-day war that continued in the fall of 2020, thanks to the heroism of our nearly three thousand martyrs, thousands of war veterans and soldiers, this date has gone down in history as the day of the beginning of our glorious Victory over the enemy. The destruction of several layers of military fortifications built by the Armenian army for 30 years by our heroic soldiers and officers in 44 days, forced Armenia to sign the act of capitulation. M. Ahmadov stated that as a result of the successful foreign and military construction policy of the Victorious Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, today Azerbaijan is among the most influential countries in the world.
Speaking at the commemoration ceremony, the department heads of the library Nazim Mustafayev and Zakir Ismailov noted that the memory of our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Motherland is honored with deep respect. Electronic resources dedicated to the Remembrance Day and Victory Day were compiled and presented to the library users.
