TORONTO – The Network of Azerbaijani Canadians welcomes the end of the hostilities in Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region and the capitulation of the illegal Armenian militant entity, which had occupied the sovereign Azerbaijani region since 1992.
Throughout 30 years of Armenia's UN-condemned occupation of Azerbaijan's sovreign regions, Armenian forces decimated approximately 10,000 square kilometres of Azerbaijan’s territory. Entire Azerbaijani cities, towns and hundreds of villages — once home to 750,000 Azerbaijanis, who were all forcibly displaced — were looted and razed to the ground. All semblance of life was deliberately targeted. Centuries-old cultural heritage lays destroyed.
