Ilham Aliyev: Historical memory of Azerbaijani people was never erased

The Armenian state sought to completely erase the heritage of the Azerbaijani people from these territories, but they failed to achieve this.

Report informs that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said this on May 9 at a meeting with residents of Shukurbayli village in Jabrayil district.

"Although our cities and villages were devastated, the historical memory of the Azerbaijani people was never erased. I know that you, like all former IDPs, lived with one dream - the dream of returning to your native lands. Some of you settled in houses provided by the state in the Bilasuvar district, while others created certain living conditions for yourselves. Yet, of course, one's native soil and homeland are dearer than anything else," the head of state added.
