When in the early 90s we performed “Arshin Mal Alan” for our wounded soldiers who fought in Karabakh, it seemed to us that the injustice would not last long; our lands will be reclaimed, refugees will return to their homes, everything will come back to its former course.

But the apartness turned to be too long: whilst 20 percent of our lands went occupied and a million people lost their homes, still negotiations lasted about 30 years and failed to bring any solution.

As a result, when the occupant troops of Armenia launched another armed provocation on September 27, the Azerbaijani army responded hitting a counter-strike – our sufferance came to an end! We were waiting for this day almost 30 years, with our heads up and our eyes open, and finally it has come!

Hopes overfill us. Stay strong, Azerbaijani Soldier! Due to your valiancy, the works by genius Uzeyir Hajibeyli of Shusha will return to our native land of Karabakh, and music by this great son of our Nation will sound here again!

Karabakh is Azerbaijan! We are coming back to Karabakh!

P.S. Two days ago the team of Baku Marionette Theatre donated 5,000 manats to the Fund for Assistance to the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
