VARIOUS OF FIREWORK SHOW AS AZERBAIJANIS CELEBRATE FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF VICTORY IN KARABAKH WAR BAKU, AZERBAIJAN (NOV. 8, 2021) (AAVN - ACCESS ALL) SCRIPT Azerbaijan on Monday is celebrating the Victory Day on the first anniversary of liberation of Shusha, which played a crucial role in the fate of the Second Karabakh War, also known as the Patriotic War, leading to the defeat of Armenia's leadership. On Dec. 3, 2020, President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree "on the establishment of Victory Day in the Republic of Azerbaijan" on Nov. 8. Shusha, Azerbaijan's cultural and historical capital, was liberated last fall after 28 years of Armenian occupation. During the 44-day conflict, which ended with a Russian-brokered truce in November 2020, Azerbaijan liberated several strategic cities and nearly 300 of its settlements and villages from Armenian occupation. Relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan – two former Soviet republics – have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Upper Karabakh, a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, and seven adjacent regions. A joint Turkish-Russian center was established to monitor the postwar truce.
