Analyzing the course of the 44-day Patriotic War in chronological order, Habib Mirzayev spoke about the path that led Azerbaijan to its historic Victory. He noted that the foundation of this Glorious Victory rests on the will of the President and Victorious Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, the strength of the army, and the unity between the people and the government.

During the speeches, it was also emphasized that the desire of AzTU students to voluntarily participate in combat operations during the 44-day war served as a testament to their high spirit of patriotism. It was reported that 36 students and alumni of AzTU attained the peak of martyrdom during the 44-day Patriotic War.
