On this historical day
Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be resolved in line with the international law and Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, based on relevant UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate, unconditional and complete withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories. Ilham Aliyev
The Armenian side is trying to conceal its losses by spreading misinformation
The information spread by Armenian Defense Ministry officials on the number of casualties about Azerbaijan Army is baseless and does not reflect reality. This is aimed at reducing to some extend anxiety among the Armenian population and chaos in the army, in the face of Azerbaijan army successes.
According to intelligence information obtained at the end of the day, the Armenian army suffered serious losses as a result of the combat operations. Thus, 22 enemy tanks and other armored vehicles, 15 OSA anti-aircraft missile systems, 18 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 8 artillery pieces were destroyed. The enemy suffered more than 550 casualties, including dead and wounded. 3 weapons and ammunition depots have been destroyed in different direction.
The commander of the enemy airborne battalion Lieutenant Colonel Lernik Vardanyan was killed in the battles in the direction of Talysh village, and his unit’s personnel suffered heavy losses.
Due to the large number of wounded in the enemy’s army, there is a shortage of beds in military and civilian hospitals and reserve blood deficiency in the blood bank. As always, the Armenian side hides the real number of combat casualties in its army from the public.

President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron made a phone call to President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
On 27 September, President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron made a phone call to President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
Emmanuel Macron expressed his country’s concern over the armed confrontation on the line of contact between Armenia and Azerbaijan and stressed the importance of resolving the conflict through negotiations.
The head of state noted that Armenia’s leadership had been consciously disrupting the process of negotiations. The statement of the Armenian leadership that “Nagorno-Karabakh is Armenia” dealt a severe blow to the negotiations. At the same time, the assertion that “Azerbaijan should negotiate with Nagorno-Karabakh” is an attempt to change the format of the talks, which is also unacceptable, as stated by the leadership of the Minsk Group.
During the telephone conversation, the head of state highlighted the course of events related to the ongoing military provocation committed by Armenia against Azerbaijan on September 27, noting that our civilians and our servicemen were killed due to heavy artillery fire on the positions of Azerbaijan’s armed forces and residential areas along the frontline. The armed forces of Azerbaijan are conducting successful counter-offensives in response.
The President of Azerbaijan noted that the political and military leadership of Armenia bears responsibility for the future developments related to Armenia’s military provocation.
During the telephone conversation, the parties agreed to establish contacts through diplomatic channels.

llham Aliyev met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres via videoconferencing
On the initiative of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, a meeting via videoconferencing has today been held between him and President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
President Ilham Aliyev provided information about the military provocation committed by Armenia against Azerbaijan yesterday. He noted that on 27 September, Armenia used heavy artillery to fire on the positions of Azerbaijan’s Armed Forces and residential areas located along the Line of Contact. Azerbaijani civilians and servicemen were killed due to the attack. The Azerbaijani side is conducting a successful counter-offensive operation in self-defense.
The head of state emphasized that this was not the first time the Armenian side had perpetrated a military provocation. In particular, the occupying country carried out a similar provocation on the Azerbaijan-Armenia border this July. In August, an Armenian subversion group attempted to cross the Line of Contact. Simultaneously, Armenia is illegally resettling foreign nationals from other countries in Azerbaijan’s occupied territories, representing a flagrant violation of international law under the Geneva Convention.
The President of Azerbaijan also noted that Armenia’s prime minister had created armed groups of volunteers consisting of tens of thousands of civilians being forced to participate in military operations against Azerbaijan.
During the conversation, President Ilham Aliyev said he had spoken of Armenia’s preparations for a new war in his speech at the UN General Assembly’s 75th session’s general debates.
The head of state said that the Armenian leadership had been deliberately derailing the negotiations. The Armenian leadership’s statement that “Nagorno-Karabakh is Armenia” dealt a severe blow to the talks. The statement that “Azerbaijan should negotiate with Nagorno-Karabakh” is an attempt to change the negotiations’ format, which is also unacceptable, as confirmed by the leadership of the Minsk Group.
President Ilham Aliyev said that the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be resolved in line with the international law and Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, based on relevant UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate, unconditional and complete withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories.
During the conversation, the parties also recalled the Special Session of the UN General Assembly in response to COVID-19 initiated by Azerbaijan. The head of state thanked the UN Secretary-General for supporting this initiative. President Ilham Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan would continue to spare no effort in the international arena to combat COVID-19.
During the videoconference, the parties also discussed issues related to the prospects for cooperation between Azerbaijan and the UN.
