Since March 2016, the Armenian Armed Forces had started increasing their attacks on the settlements along the frontline.

In response to the provocations of the Armenian Armed Forces, on April 2, 2016, the Azerbaijani Army launched a swift counteroffensive operation, inflicting a heavy defeat on the enemy.

As a result of our army’s decisive strikes, the enemy's personnel and military equipment were destroyed. Control over the roads in the Aghdara-Madagiz direction was secured. During the April battles, our army liberated more than 2,000 hectares of territory from the Fuzuli, Jabrayil, and Aghdara regions that had been under occupation. Additionally, thousands of hectares of land came under the full control of the Azerbaijani Army.

During the four-day April battles, the Armenians’ constructed myth of their army's 'invincibility' was completely destroyed. These battles showed the world that Azerbaijan would never accept occupation, and they became the cornerstone of the glorious victory in the 44-day war.

The April victory symbolized the fighting spirit of our soldiers and the unity between the army and the people. The officers and soldiers of our army showed exceptional valor and courage in those battles.

Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) graduates – Mahir Quliyev, Abdulmajid Akhundov, Mushfig Orucov, and Elvin Mirzayev – also made their mark in history with their acts of heroism during the April battles, reaching the ultimate sacrifice of martyrdom.

AzTU proudly honors its students and graduates who ascended to the peak of martyrdom, and remembers their memory with deep respect.

May God have mercy on all our martyrs!
We bow our heads in honor of the souls of our martyrs.
