Press Council: Azerbaijani media made significant contributions to preserving fighting spirit during 44-day Patriotic War
November 8, Victory Day, is a celebration of the national pride, determination to uphold statehood, unity, and unwavering fighting spirit of the Azerbaijani people, according to a message issued by the Press Council of Azerbaijan on the occasion of Victory Day.
“The historic Victory achieved by the valorous Azerbaijani Army under the leadership of President and Victorious Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev is a vivid manifestation of our country’s restored territorial integrity and sovereignty, our national solidarity, and the unity between the people, state, and army. This magnificent Victory also demonstrates to the world the Azerbaijani people’s determination and unwavering resolve to restore historical justice.
We note with pride that Azerbaijani journalists also played a unique role in achieving this historic Victory. In the truest sense of the word, some of our colleagues turned their pens into weapons, took part in military operations for the Motherland, and received high state honors for their valor. Throughout the 44-day Patriotic War, the Azerbaijani media fought tirelessly on the information front, making a significant contribution to conveying the just cause of our state and people to the international community, while also helping to sustain high morale and determination to achieve victory within society.
Our sacred Victory is an enduring example of national will, patriotism, and loyalty to the state that will be passed down to future generations. We honor with deep respect the memory of the heroic sons of the Motherland who sacrificed their lives for this great Victory, and express our gratitude to the veterans who suffered injuries and health problems in the struggle for the freedom of our lands.
The Press Council of Azerbaijan warmly congratulates our people and representatives of the media community on Victory Day.
May our Victory be eternal and our unity unbreakable!” the statement reads.
