The memory of the valiant warriors, the shahids who led the Azerbaijani people to the Victory in the Patriotic War, is honoured far beyond the boundaries of our country: Congressman Jose Enrique Jeri Ore of the Republic of Peru ad a member of the SOMOS PERU parliamentary group, wrote a letter to Azerbaijan’s Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador in Lima Mammad Talibov asking to relay his respect for the memory of the Patriotic War shahids to the people of Azerbaijan.

The letter from the Peruvian senator says that, in 2020, the Armed Forces of the Azerbaijan Republic took retaliatory measures in response to the armed provocations of the Republic of Armenia – in order to discourage a further military aggression and to keep the Azerbaijani civilian population safe. That set in motion the 44 days’ Patriotic War, which terminated the aggressive policy of Armenia and, after close to thirty years of the Armenian occupation of what are the internationally recognised territories of Azerbaijan, our country was able to restore its territorial integrity and guarantee its people’s fundamental rights to safe and dignified return of the almost a million refugees to their homes.

Further, the Peruvian Congressman Jose Enrique Jeri Ore describes the 27^th of September – the Memory Day – as a date that began a new phase in the history of the Azerbaijan Republic and marked both the change of realia in our region and the restoration of historical justice. Sending his deepest condolences to the brotherly people of Azerbaijan on this fateful day, Mr Ore expressed his boundless deference to the memory of all the shahids who died heroically in their struggle for the freedom of their Motherland.
