Participants

2020 Baku Victory Parade (Azerbaijani: Zəfər paradı) was held on 10 December, in Azadliq Square, Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. It was held in honor of the Azerbaijani victory during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war,[1] officially described as the Patriotic War in Azerbaijan.[2] The parade was held with 3,000 military servicemen who distinguished themselves during the war marched alongside military equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft,[3] as well as Armenian war trophies,[1] and Turkish soldiers and officers,[4] while navy vessels performed maneuvers in the nearby Bay of Baku, and jets and helicopters flew above the city.[5][6] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a key ally of Azerbaijan in the war,[2] also attended the military parade as part of a state visit to Baku.[7]

The military parade aroused great interest among Baku residents, who gathered in different parts of the city and tried to watch the parade closely, despite the COVID-19 related regulations.[8]

The parade was criticized in Armenia due to the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev declaring the Syunik, Gegharkunik, and Yerevan regions of Armenia to be the "historical lands" of Azerbaijanis,[9] and Erdoğan's remarks on the spirit of Enver Pasha, who was one of the masterminds of the Armenian genocide.[10] Both statements were condemned by Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan.[11] In later speech Aliyev claimed to "have no territorial claims to any country, including Armenia".[12] However, Aliyev has made irredentist claims over Armenian territories multiple times, vowing to "return to them", declaring: "Yerevan is our historical land and we Azerbaijanis must return to these historical lands".[13][14] Later on 22 July 2021, Aliyev made another irredentist claim over Armenia's province Zangezur (Syunik), saying that it's "our own territory".[15]

During the parade, Erdogan also recited parts of a controversial Soviet Azerbaijani poem, which sparked tensions with neighboring Iran.[16]

Background[edit]

On 27 September 2020, clashes broke out in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is de facto controlled by the self-proclaimed and unrecognized Republic of Artsakh, but de jure part of Azerbaijan.[17] Azerbaijani forces first advanced in Fuzuli and Jabrayil districts, taking their respective administrative centres.[18] From there, they proceeded towards Hadrut.[19] Azerbaijani troops began to advance more intensively after the fall of Hadrut around 15 October, and Armenians began to retreat, with Azerbaijanis then taking control of Zangilan and Qubadli.[20] Launching an offensive for Lachin,[21] they also penetrated into Shusha District through its forests and mountain passes.[22][23]

Following the capture of Shusha, the second-largest settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh, a ceasefire agreement was signed between the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, and the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, ending all hostilities in the area from 00:00, 10 November 2020 Moscow Time.[24][25][26] Under the agreement, the warring sides will keep control of their currently held areas within Nagorno-Karabakh, while Armenia will return the surrounding territories it occupied in 1994 to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will also gain land access to its Nakhchivan exclave bordering Turkey and Iran.[27] Approximately 2,000 Russian soldiers will be deployed as peacekeeping forces along the Lachin corridor between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh for a mandate of at least five years.[28]

Parade[edit]

Before the parade[edit]

In early December, it was revealed that a victory parade would be held on 10 December in Azadliq Square, Baku, capital of Azerbaijan.[29][30] Traffic was restricted on some streets and avenues to ensure the safety of military parade-related equipment.[31] On 5 December, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces started training exercises for the parade.[32] On December 8, a training exercise was held at the military parade, during which the military booty seized by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces from Armenia was demonstrated.[33] Also, training flights of Azerbaijani Air Force planes and helicopters were carried out over Baku.[34]

On 9 December, President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived by plane at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku.[35] Erdoğan was greeted by Azerbaijani officials and Turkish diplomats in Baku. He was accompanied by his wife Emine Erdoğan, foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, defence minister Hulusi Akar, spokesman of the ruling Justice and Development Party Ömer Çelik, the party's deputy chairman Mahir Ünal, spokesman of the presidential administration İbrahim Kalın and Turkish Presidential Administration Public Relations Director Fahrettin Altun.[36]

On 10 December, Ilham Aliyev and Erdoğan visited the visited the Martyrs' Lane, and laid wreaths at the Eternal Torch monument.[37] Then, they went to Alley of Honor to honor the memory of former President of Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev, and laid wreaths at his grave.[38] Both Aliyev and Erdoğan prayed in the Mosque of the Martyrs.[39]

Pre-parade speech[edit]

The parade began with the massed bands playing both Azərbaycan marşı and İstiklal Marşı after the arrival of the two heads of state.

During his speech, President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, stated that hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis living in the present-day Armenia were "expelled from their ancestral lands", adding that Zangezur, Goycha, and Iravan were the "historical lands of Azerbaijan", and that the Armenian leadership had expelled hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from Armenia, as well as Nagorno-Karabakh.[40] Ilham Aliyev also noted that three days before the war began, at UN General Assembly, he said that "Armenia was preparing for a new war and they must be stopped". He added that in 2020, Armenia launched three attacks against Azerbaijan, in July, in August, and in September. And in response, he had "ordered the Azerbaijani soldiers to move forward."[41] Aliyev then recalled the Battle of Shusha, calling it a "historic event".[42] At the end, Aliyev stated that the Azerbaijani army had defeated Armenia, and that the Armenian Army was almost "non-existent and destroyed", adding that if the "Armenian fascism rises again, the result will be the same".[43]

The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also made a speech. He first wished God's mercy to the Azerbaijani soldiers who were killed or wounded during the war, then continued to praise the Azerbaijani–Turkish relations.[44] He then added that those who brought "nothing but massacres and tears to Karabakh must now come to their senses", and that the Armenian politicians should take "bold steps towards peace and stability." [5][45] Erdoğan, reciting a controversial Soviet Azerbaijani poem,[16] then stated that it was the day that the "souls of Ahmad Javad, Nuru Pasha, Enver Pasha and Mubariz Ibrahimov were enlightened".[46][47] He also stressed that the "struggle in the political and military spheres will continue on different fronts."[48]

Crowd[edit]

The military parade aroused great interest among Baku residents, who gathered in different parts of the city and tried to watch the parade closely.[68] Despite the COVID-19 measures, Baku residents tried to go to Azadliq Square around Nizami Street and Sahil Park to watch the military parade. However, they were stopped by the police and the police officers did not allow people to enter the Baku Boulevard. Azerbaijani Defense Ministry officials said the city was not closed and people had gathered to watch the parade near the Puppet Theater. The Baku Main Police Office further noted that "necessary measures are being taken to control the event and prevent the spread of the pandemic and to prevent overcrowding in the area." There was no official warning to the population on not gathering.[69] A BBC Azerbaijani correspondent reported that Baku residents were flocking to Azadliq Square from Neftchilar Avenue despite the fact that the parade was going to start soon.[70] Crowds of people, waving Azerbaijani and Turkish flags, watched the parade.[71]

Aftermath[edit]

A festive fireworks display was held at the Baku Boulevard later that night.[72]

Post-parade conference[edit]

After the parade, Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a joint conference. Aliyev stated that if the Armenian government draws the "right conclusions from the war and gives up its claims, baseless claims and looks to the future, then they can have a place on a single platform".[73] Erdoğan stressed that he supported the idea of Aliyev on building a platform with the participation of six countries, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Iran and Armenia, and stated that such cooperation could bring peace to the region. He also added that the approaches of Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, helped to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in a positive way.[74] Aliyev further noted that Turkish companies will build a road to Shusha, and when the road is ready, he will visit the city with Erdoğan. He added that along with Azerbaijani companies, Turkish companies will also participate in the construction of roads, railways and other infrastructure in the region.[75]

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu stated that said that an agreement was signed between Azerbaijan and Turkey to simplify travel between the two countries. According to Çavuşoğlu, he signed a document with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, Jeyhun Bayramov, adding that the travel between two countries will soon be done just with ID cards.[76]

International reactions[edit]

The Turkish Ministry of National Defence,[77] Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavaş,[78] and Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Mustafa Şentop[79] congratulated Azerbaijan on the parade.

Israeli opera singer Camellia Ioffe organized a concert of Azerbaijani music at the park, during which the musicians dedicated their performance to the Victory Parade in Baku.[80]

Armenia strongly condemned Ilham Aliyev's statements on its provinces, labelling them "provocative". Also, the spokesperson for the Prime Minister of Armenia, Mane Gevorgyan stated that Erdoğan's "glorification of the ideologies of the Young Turks" was also "strongly condemnable".[81] The Armenian ambassador to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia Tigran Mkrtchyan called the parade a "masquerade" in response to the photograph of an Azerbaijani officer making the Grey Wolves sign during the military parade.[82]

Russian State Duma Deputy Konstantin Zatulin called the parade "an attempt to humiliate" both Armenia and Russia and condemned the attempts of President Aliyev during his speech to draw parallels with the fight against fascism and the operation in Nagorno-Karabakh.[83]

Poem controversy[edit]

Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in response to Erdoğan reciting a poem by Soviet Azerbaijani poet Bakhtiyar Vahabzadeh referring to the Aras River and the Iranian Azerbaijan, stated that no one was "allowed to talk about beloved Azerbaijan of Iran".[84] Iran's former ambassador to Baku, Mohsen Pakaeen, stated that such remarks could raise historical and controversial issues between Azerbaijan and Iran, hurting their relations. Pakaeen also accused Erdoğan of spreading Pan-Turkism. Iranian authorities then summoned Turkey's ambassador to Tehran, and asked for an immediate explanation.[85]
