Occupation of Karabakh and Armenian aggression

Since my childhood i have always dreamed about going and seeing Karabakh. I born and raised into the feeling of patriotism. Everybody, in all ages has only one desire in Azerbaijan: to get our lands back. Because, Karabakh is Azerbaijan!

Firstly, I want to give you a brief information about history of Karabakh. Karabakh is a historical region of Azerbaijan. It has ancient history and culture. After the death of Nadir Shah Afshar in 1747 Panahali Khan established Karabakh khanate. During Safavid’s empire the capital of Karabakh was Ganja city and during Afshar empire the capital was Tabriz. But when Karabakh khanate established it did not have any capitals. Because of that Panahali khan decided to build new castles. First castle was built in 1748 and called Bayat castles. Then in 1751 he built stronger castle which is called Shahbulag. But it was not convenient. In 1756–1757 Shusha castle was built and it became the capital of Karabakh khanate.

This is the picture of Shusha fortress. We can see the beauty of Karabakh’s nature from this photo.

In 1805 14th of May Kurekchay treaty was signed between IbrahimKhalil khan and Russian general Tsitsianov. According to that treaty Karabakh accepted to be under the control of Russia. In 1813 Gulustan treaty was signed between Russia and Qacar Iran. After that treaty Iran recognized the Karabakh to be controlled by Russians.

Secondly, I would like to share information about Azerbaijan-Armenian conflict. Armenians wanted to occupy this land from the very start. But they had their own policy. Before their wildness and genocides, Azerbaijanis and armenians were living together. We did not have aggression against them. We were very close with them. But until 1990’s. We saw their real facies. Many people killed by armenians and many people become refugess and IDP’s. It was out of humanity. We did not have collected military forces. We do not have many weapons. And they used it and killed children, women and elderly. There happened many terrible events. Only in Khojaly genocide nearly 600 people were killed savagely. It is hard even to imagine what they came through for being alive for surviving from this genocide. The victims and witnesses of this genocide said many hard things about how they survived. Some of them are like a living dead. Children saw the dead body of their parents or parents saw their children dead. Many people killed with torture. Some of them killed themselves,commited a suicide for not being raped or not to be killed with torment. We can easily see and find some photos of this genocide. Our National Hero Chingiz Mustafayev photographed and record with camera all this wildness.

Lastly, I want to share with you, all information I have about nowadays what is happening in the frontline. It is very honorable time for all Azerbaijanis. We are all very happy about the liberation of our lands which were under the armenian occupation for approximately 30 years. Our victorious army succeed in many operations and our president gives us good news everyday. I hope it will continue like that. It is such a great honor for me to observe this historical times with my own eyes. I used to dream about Karabakh but now I am planning about visiting Karabakh. We have many martyrs and we will never forget them. We always proud about our brave soldiers and martyrs of Azerbaijani nation will never forget about Armenian aggression and always announce the world what really happened in Karabakh. Our cunning and coward enemies are bombarded civilians in many regions. Ganja city and Barda city are the example of bombarded cities. Because of armenian aggression in Ganja city 14 people are dead and 52 people are wounded. In Barda city 21 people are dead and 70 people are wounded. We only see the numbers but every people who killed by armenians had their own dreams. But armenians killed them and destroyed their dreams. There many cities of Azerbaijan which are still bombarding by Armenians. But world keeps its silence and don’t do anything about this dishonesty. Please open your eyes and try to see and tell the truth. It is important issue. We should say it in everywhere: STOP ARMENIAN AGRESION!!!

According to all these information you can easily understand why I have a big desire of seeing Karabakh. I hope we will liberate all of our lands from occupation soon. As I mentioned before, it is the undeniable and proved fact that Karabakh is Azerbaijan!!!
