KHANKENDI, Azerbaijan, December 25. Victory
Park in Khankendi showcases the Azerbaijani people’s unwavering
determination, extraordinary heroism, and the remarkable victory
achieved during the 44-day Patriotic War, highlighting their fight
for historical justice and territorial integrity, Afat Telmangizi,
Head of the Public Relations Department of the Restoration,
Construction, and Management Service (RCMS) in the nation's Aghdara
and Khojaly districts, told Trend's local correspondent.
According to her, the park spans nine hectares and features a
staircase of 44 steps leading to the Victory Arch.
“Information about the course of the war and the names of
liberated settlements is displayed on plaques in the central part
of the staircase. Details of the 2023 anti-terror operation are

a space for recreation and leisure, reflecting the successful
continuation of large-scale restoration and construction efforts in
the liberated territories,” Telmangizi added.
