November 8 is celebrated as Victory Day in Azerbaijan.
According to the Order "On the establishment of Victory Day in the Republic of Azerbaijan" signed by President Ilham Aliyev on December 3, 2020, November 8 is Victory Day in Azerbaijan.
In response to the large-scale sabotage committed by the Armenian armed forces on the frontline on September 27, 2020, the Azerbaijani Army launched a counter-offensive operation, later called "Iron Fist." The 44-day Patriotic War resulted in the end of nearly thirty years of occupation and the restoration of our territorial integrity. The liberation of the pearl of Karabakh, the city of Shusha, dear to every Azerbaijani, on November 8, after twenty-eight years of captivity, played a decisive role in the fate of the war, leading the enemy's political and military leadership to admit defeat and cease military operations. The operation to liberate Shusha from occupation will forever remain in history.
On November 10, the President of Azerbaijan, the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Russia signed a statement on the complete cessation of fire and all military operations in the conflict zone. According to the statement, on November 20, Aghdam, on November 25, Kalbajar, and on December 1, Lachin regions were liberated without a single shot fired, without any martyrs. The statement also announced the provision of construction of new transport communications connecting the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with the western regions of Azerbaijan.
Thus, Azerbaijan's military victory forced Armenia to capitulate.
