Military Expert Calls Azerbaijan's Territorial Restoration Historic Success
Ramil Mammadli describes Azerbaijan's restoration of sovereignty over its entire territory as a rare example of a fully resolved post-World War II conflict.
Military expert Ramil Mammadli characterizes the restoration of Azerbaijan's sovereignty over its entire territory as one of the most significant developments in conflict resolution since the Second World War. He argues that while many global conflicts remain protracted for decades, Azerbaijan achieved a fundamental solution through a combination of military, political, and diplomatic measures.
The resolution occurred in two primary stages: the 44-day Patriotic War in 2020 and an anti-terrorist operation in September 2023, which removed separatist forces. Mammadli attributes this outcome to an integrated strategy that paired the modernization of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces and economic development with diplomatic efforts to ensure the neutrality of major global powers, including the United States, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and China.
According to Mammadli, the government succeeded by neutralizing external interference and substantiating its international position. He concludes that the dispute was ultimately resolved through a synergy of national unity and military strength.
