What to Expect on November 8 in the Capital of Artsakh, Stepanakert

The newspaper 'Hraparak' reports that the Azerbaijani authorities plan to hold a 'victory parade' in the capital of Artsakh, Stepanakert, on November 8. Azerbaijani media have been covering this news for several days, highlighting that the parade will be personally attended by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

It is worth mentioning that November 8 is celebrated in Azerbaijan as the day of victory in the 44-day war over Artsakh. On this day in 2020, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced the capture of Shusha by the Azerbaijani armed forces, even though official statements from Armenia at the highest levels, including on November 9, were still denying these reports.
