President Ilham Aliyev himself raised the flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Khankendi and delivered a speech in the capital of the former breakaway enclave
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev raised his country’s flag himself today in the capital of the former breakaway enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, which Azeri forces took under their control last month – in a ceremony in which the Azeri president, dressed in variation, he kissed the flag before making the conceit.

“President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev raised the flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the city of Khankendi and delivered a speech,” the presidency said in a terse statement.
The capital of Nagorno-Karabakh is called Khankendi by the Azeris and Stepanakert by the Armenians, who left en masse (about 100,000 inhabitants) when Azerbaijan brought the enclave under its control.
Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenians call it “Artsakh”) is a mountainous region in the South Caucasus, internationally recognized as the territory of Azerbaijan.
