“Instead of liberating Shusha, those in power at the time made empty promises that Shusha would be taken away in the coming days,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he responded to questions from young people at the Youth Forum on 2 February, Trend reports.
The head of state said that when Shusha was occupied, we all thought that it was temporary and we would return to Shusha soon. “Instead of liberating Shusha, the people in power at that time made empty promises that Shusha would be taken away in the coming days, that Shusha is with us and so on. However, in fact, they were directly involved in the surrender of Shusha to the enemy. It was a betrayal, an act of treason. Today, everyone in Shusha sees that it was almost impossible to take that city. The way we took Shusha is a separate saga, the peak of heroism, a synthesis of spiritual and physical strength. This is the peak of self-sacrifice,” the President noted.
