"Azerbaijan and Hungary are strategic partners," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said during a press statement with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, APA reports.

“Azerbaijan was also a country that was at war four and a half years ago. We ended the 30-year occupation of our lands by Armenia. Indeed, our war was not fought for more than three years like the Russia-Ukraine War – it lasted only 44 days. Every day we advanced, we did not take a step back, there was not a single deserter in our army, while, by their own admission, the Armenian army had 12,000 deserters.”

President Ilham Aliyev emphasized that this war was conducted in accordance with the UN Charter: “Article 51 of the UN Charter states that every country has the right to self-defense. And we, exercising this right, liberated the lands that had been under occupation for many years from enemy forces and fully restored our sovereignty in 2023.”
