When the second Karabakh war ended, the region came under our control, but the city of Lachin was out of our control.

Because the road from Armenia to Karabakh passed through the middle of the city of Lachin.

APA reports that President Ilham Aliyev said this while receiving Masim Mammadov in connection with the appointment of the President's special representative in Lachin district, which is included in the Eastern Zangezur economic district.

Speaking about his efforts to resolve the issue, the head of state said: "On August 26, we returned to the villages of Zabukh, Sus and the city of Lachin.

After that, I visited the city of Lachin, raised the Azerbaijani flag in the center of the city and declared that we will live forever in this native land."
