A group of participants in the 44-day Karabakh war held a protest in front of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.

According to Turan, the servicemen expressed their dissatisfaction with the deprivation of their military awards. They said that their services were not appreciated, despite President Ilham Aliyev's instruction to award the war participants, to give them attention and care.

They claimed that those who served in the rear received medals.

A representative of the Defense Ministry who came out to the protesters promised to investigate the issue. The rally ended without incident.
