She emphasized that the main architects of this Victory are our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Motherland, our veterans who displayed heroism despite injuries, our strong and valiant Army, our united and resilient Azerbaijani people, and Supreme Commander-in-Chief President Ilham Aliyev.
At the end of the event, winners of a drawing competition held among children on the occasion of September 27 – Remembrance Day were announced and presented with gifts.
