Azerbaijanis turned the 30-year old pain into joy, the head of the Communications Department of Turkish Presidential Administration Fahrettin Altun said on Twitter, TurkicWorld reports.

Altun made the post related to Azerbaijan marking the Remembrance day on September 27, which marks the first anniversary of the second Karabakh war.

Altun noted that on this day, Azerbaijan, relying on the requirements of international law, launched a military operation against the Armenian occupation, which has been going on for decades.
