BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 8. I am proud to
have fought for my homeland, Elchin Aliyev, a veteran from the
Masalli district, told Trend during the November 8 – Victory Day
celebrations.
Aliyev stated that at the onset of the Patriotic War in 2020, he
was serving in the Beylagan district and participated in the
battles from the very first days.
“I left for military service from Masalli. On September 26,
2020, we were sent toward the Fuzuli direction, and the next day,
the war started. I took part in the battles for Hadrut and Shusha.
I was wounded in those battles but did not retreat. I was only
eighteen at the time, but fighting for the homeland was above
everything else,” he said.
The young veteran emphasized that Victory Day is a symbol of
pride and triumph for the Azerbaijani people.
“Victory Day is a great historic date and an unforgettable
feeling. It is not only a day of pride for Azerbaijan but for the
entire Turkic world. I am deeply grateful to the heroic personnel
of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, especially to the
Commander-in-Chief, our martyrs, comrades-in-arms, and fellow
veterans who gave us the joy of this victory. Taking part in the
Patriotic War and contributing, even in a small way, to this
glorious triumph fills me with endless pride,” Aliyev added.
