"Three years ago, I joined the call of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to free our lands from Armenian fascism and joined the battle for the Motherland and the freedom of our lands. The Azerbaijani army really jumped into this war with great enthusiasm. Of course, we had martyrs and wounded. I wish God's mercy to all my Martyr brothers and patience to their families. I wish healing to all our veterans. Although we have martyrs and veterans, we are no longer down. We liberated our lands occupied by the enemy for 30 years.
