President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev continues to receive more letters.

We would like to present some of them:

‘Dear President, Mr. Supreme Commander-in-Chief,

I express my gratitude to You as our army successfully progresses in the battles to liberate the occupied lands of Azerbaijan and rid them of the enemy. This has been possible thanks to You.

I proudly declare that I, as a citizen of Azerbaijan, am always ready to fulfill my sacred duty to my state and Motherland and have volunteered to join the battles at the frontline. They have not yet accepted me due to my old age.

Mr. Commander-in-Chief, please issue an order for me to join the Army. We always stand by You, ready to fight at any time. Thank You for everything. Long live our victorious Army!

With regards,

Fazil Safikhanov Aziz oghlu

Ganja, Republic of Azerbaijan.’

‘Dear President, Supreme Commander-in-Chief,

Thank You for the joy we have experienced as we heard of the liberation of Jabrayil from Armenian oppression after twenty-seven years.

We, the people of Jabrayil, support Your visionary policy. Let Your orders and decisive position lead us from one victory to another.

We are confident that our Army will author glorious victory under Your command.

Dear Commander-in-Chief, we, the people of Jabrayil, await Your order, as we declare that we are always ready to fight for our country. Long live independent Azerbaijan!

With regards,

Rauf Musayev Musa oghlu

Boyuk Marjanli Village, Jabrayil, Republic of Azerbaijan.’

‘Dear Mr. President,

Our dear land, Jabrayil, has been liberated from Armenian invaders thanks to Your policy. We would like to express our deepest gratitude on behalf of our family, the people of Guyjak village, and all residents of Jabrayil.

We eagerly await the day we can return to our homeland, which has been under enemy occupation for 27 years, breathe the air of that heavenly land, and drink the waters of those icy springs once again.

You have bestowed fresh breath, new spirit upon us.

We are proud of You and all our valiant soldiers.

May Allah protect You and our soldiers.

Sincerely,

Gultakin Makhsudova Sayez gizi,

IDP from Jabrayil

Yasamal region, Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan.’

‘Dear Supreme Commander-in-Chief,

Highly inspired by the historical days we have been witnessing, I, a schoolgirl, took it upon myself to write a letter to you.

The liberation of Jabrayil has been a great source of joy for all of us. I would like to let you know that the unceasing provocations by Armenia do not concern the city of Ganja. We, on the contrary, are in high morale. Azerbaijan has become a powerful state that can make a statement in the world thanks to You. We support all of Your initiatives and always will.

The time for justice has come. The valiant Azerbaijani Army has become the partisan of truth and justice. Karabakh has become their life purpose. It is most natural that the mercenaries on the Armenian side are not capable of defeating the Azerbaijani soldier who is burning with longing for the Motherland. The blood, thousands of our martyrs have shed, should be avenged. The tears of martyrs’ mothers must not be for nothing. Their souls will rest in peace only after the lands they became martyrs for are recovered.

Turkey and Pakistan, our brother states and peoples, have become our haven of moral support. My gratitude to them knows no end.

I thank You on behalf of my family for being our president. With You our successes and triumphs are endless, and the Azerbaijani Army is always victorious. Karabakh is ours. Karabakh is Azerbaijan.

Sincerely,

Ganira Rzazade Gabil gizi

10th grade student, school 32

Ganja, Republic of Azerbaijan’

‘Dear Mr. President,

God bless you. May God grow the number of countries that support us and of our righteous friends like Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

You have once again confirmed the trust our people have always had in You. As a son of a martyr, I support Your decisive stance on liberating our lands from Armenian occupation and declare that I am ready to sacrifice my life for Your policy on recovering our territories.

Karabakh is ours! Karabakh is Azerbaijan!

Sincerely,

Vusal Musali

IDP from Kalbajar

Ganja, Republic of Azerbaijan’

‘Dear Mr. President,

We have been looking forward to the liberation of our lands for the longest of time. As an educator, I can confidently say that we are a stone’s throw away from Victory thanks to Your successful policy. For this, I am grateful to You and our glorious army. I congratulate You and our people on the victories over the enemy.

Long live the invincible Azerbaijani Army and our Supreme Commander-in-Chief! Karabakh is Azerbaijan!

Sincerely,

‘Our dear, honorable Supreme Commander-in-Chief,

We are confident that we will soon celebrate complete victory. The entire nation, every one of us, stands by You. We are ready to fight to the last drop of our blood to liberate our homeland and we have all applied as volunteers to the front.

Dear President, you are writing glorious pages in the history of our state and people as a skilled leader. The glorious war under Your brave leadership will free our homeland from the enemy and become a worthy historical response to all the hateful conduct of the Armenians and the aggressive policy they have been leading toward us for the last 200 years.

We wish you success in your cause of justice, our dearest leader, in these times of global socio-political challenges.

Karabakh is Azerbaijan! Victory is ours! We trust our leader wholeheartedly and declare that we always stand by You.

We are proud of You and our valiant Army.

‘Dear Mr. President,

Our hearts have been beating with pride and joy for the past week as our army is liberating our lands inch by inch from the treacherous, invading, hateful Armenians, who have kept our lands under occupation for 30 years, stalling through false peace negotiations with their partners, but never thought of returning our lands under any conditions. It is like we are being reborn, forgetting the pain we have been through. We believe that this victory march will go to the very end. Your speeches, the wise, logical, and strict answer You give them, and their patrons have convinced us so. Believe us when we say that the entire nation has great morale. No hardships or future deprivations can break that. Our people will be grateful to You all their lives. We wish victory to the glorious Azerbaijani army and our nation under Your leadership. We live with confidence that our tricolour flag will be raised in all our occupied regions and villages.

I am 9 years old. I am a 4th-grade student in School 11 in Sheki. I have been playing chess since I was 5. Despite being only 9, I have raised our glorious flag 4 times in world and European championships.

My family and I have been following our triumphant marches in Karabakh every day with tears of joy. Inshallah, our beautiful flag will shortly undulate in our Karabakh and the 7 adjacent regions. I have full faith in that.

My father turns 34 today. The liberation of Sugovushan became the greatest birthday gift. For this, we thank You and our soldiers.

We, the athletes, stand by You in this rightful fight. Karabakh is Azerbaijan!

We are confident that we will recover our lands under Your command.
