Returning to their native land, Jabrayil residents thanked President Ilham Aliyev and First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva for all-round state care. They also expressed gratitude to the brave Azerbaijani army, heroic soldiers and officers who liberated their lands from occupation, wished repose to the souls of shehidis who died in this way, and patience to their families.
