Azerbaijan liberated its historical lands from occupation as a result of counter-offensive operations, ex-Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said at the VIII Global Baku Forum titled "The World after COVID-19", Trend reports.
“I have followed the Karabakh conflict since the days when I was the Secretary General of the OIC, and I know very well about the history of this problem. As a result of counter-offensive operations in response to the latest provocation committed by Armenia, Azerbaijan liberated its historical lands from occupation,” Ihsanoglu said.
"Now we have a peace process ahead of us. We believe that internally displaced persons and refugees will finally return to the lands of their fathers and ancestors, and their trampled rights will be restored," Ihsanoglu noted.
