In response to the accusation that Azerbaijan allegedly used ISIS terrorists during the 44-day Patriotic War, we declare that the glorious Azerbaijan Army single-handedly liberated the occupated territories and signed a triumphal chronicle, it was stated in the Ministry of Defense's response to the defamatory and slanderous opinions of Kioumars Heydari, Commander of the Ground Forces of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, APA reports.
"This claim is nothing more than an absurd accusation and slander. It is ironic and ridiculous that this accusation was made by a high-ranking military officer of a state that supports terrorism and whose name is known for committing terrorist acts in various countries around the world," the Ministry said.
