President: Azerbaijan, which suffered from occupation, offered peace to Armenia

Azerbaijan offered peace to Armenia, despite that it was our country that suffered from occupation and destruction, President Ilham Aliyev said during his speech at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Annual Meetings of the Islamic Development Bank Group, Report informs.

"So already for almost one year, we live in peace, and we see the benefits. We will never forget what Armenian occupation forces have done to our people, to our cities. We will never forget how they destroyed 65 mosques and kept animals, including pigs, in our mosques in order to insult our feelings. That cannot be forgotten. We will never forget the Khojaly genocide, but we need to look to the future, and we took revenge on the battlefield, and that's enough. That war or wars should have stopped, and we stopped it. As a strong side, we stopped it and offered peace. So now peace is reality.
