Security Council under the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan convened a meeting on April 2.

The head of state made a speech at the meeting.
Then Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov addressed the meeting.

It was noted that in the early hours of 2 April, Armenian armed forces went on the offensive on the positions of Azerbaijani Armed Forces from different directions and shelled our residential settlements. As a result of these provocative attacks, our soldiers died as heroes. In response, Azerbaijani armed forces launched a counter-offensive from all directions and inflicted a crushing blow to the enemy.
