October 13, 2020: seventeenth day of the Patriotic War, which led us to the freedom of our lands.
Oku.Az remember that the glorious army of Azerbaijan continues to advance with determination to liberate our former lands from occupation.
However, the enemy, having suffered a serious defeat on the battlefield, continues to take the conflict beyond the front line, attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure. Starting in the morning, the Armenian armed forces are shelling the territory of the Tatar region again. In addition, the armed forces of Armenia, which seriously violated the humanitarian ceasefire regime, exposed the territories of the Goranboy, Tartar, Aghdam and Agjabedi regions to fire. Thus, 1,479 houses, 66 residential buildings and 241 civil assets become unusable in 17 days.
The Azerbaijani army again responds to the enemy on the battlefield. As a result of the activities carried out by our armed forces, a large number of enemy personnel, as well as three rocket launcher systems “BM-21” “Grad”, one anti-aircraft missile complex “Tor-M2KM”, one “ZSU- 23-4” self-propelled anti-aircraft gun “Shilka”, two guns “PDM-2”, three guns 2A36 “Qiasint-B”, one anti-aircraft gun “KS-19”, one gun “D-20” One howitzer gun, three Unmanned aerial vehicle units and several vehicles were destroyed and damaged.
In addition, during the hostilities, the personnel of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the Armed Forces of Armenia, which was in the defensive zone, was destroyed, even a division of the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment was ambushed and the vehicles in movement were destroyed. The column of motor vehicles of the 4th motorized rifle regiment heading towards Askeran and the group of volunteers heading towards our occupied territories from the Garakilsa region were destroyed by fire.
Azerbaijani army is on the front line, president Ilham Aliyev and gives the enemy’s response in the field of diplomacy. In an interview with the Turkish television channel “Haber Türk”, the Head of State criticized the lies of the Western media about the participation of foreign citizens in the war:
“Look at Armenia, how many foreign terrorists there are. There are PKK camps there. There are also PKK camps in Karabakh. After we clear this region of invaders, we will also destroy those camps. How many foreigners are participating in these battles against us today. The terrorists who were killed there have Canadian passports or are not of Armenian origin. They are mercenaries.
They also say that Türkiye provides military aid to Azerbaijan. You know, Türkiye is our brother. Our fraternal relations have already passed great tests. We buy military equipment from Türkiye, but we also buy from other countries. We buy from Russia, Israel, Belarus, Iran, Ukraine, Eastern European countries including Türkiye. Türkiye now has a developed military industrial complex. Why not buy? Look now, what is Armenia doing? We buy with money. I have a full list that will be posted later. But I want to draw your attention to several issues. During these two weeks, more than 200 Armenian tanks were destroyed and 33 tanks looted. That is, we have 233 Armenian tanks. After that, two “S-300” installations were destroyed. Everyone knows the price of each one. After that, the air defense systems – “OSA-35″ were destroyed. TOR, KUB, KRUG, cargo vehicles, anti-tank weapons. If we count everything, the destroyed and looted equipment alone is worth between 1 billion and 2 billion dollars. The question is, poor Armenia, where did you find this money? Did you buy it with money? No. They gave it to you. Everyone knows who gave it to him. They give and continue.”
In short, the superiority of the Azerbaijani army on the 17th day of the war indicated that our flag would soon fly in all our territories.
