At the same time, Ambassador T. Taghizadeh emphasized that under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, the heroic Azerbaijani Army liberated our territories that had remained under enemy occupation for 30 years, and that today the waving of our tricolor flag in Khojaly represents the triumph of truth and justice.

Then, video clips dedicated to the Khojaly tragedy were screened, accompanied on the piano by Azerbaijani student Mahammad Jafarov.
