President: Western journalists tried to present Azerbaijan as an aggressor during the Patriotic War

“While we were liberating our territories, we were fighting for our territorial integrity, we did not step on the territory of another country. We were just eliminating the 30-year consequences of occupation and ethnic cleansing, which we were facing,” the head of state said, adding the Western journalists tried to present Azerbaijan as an aggressor, so that was absolutely unacceptable, and once again demonstrates the bias and unbalanced and anti-Azerbaijani approach of the Western media.
