2020 Baku Victory Parade (Azerbaijani: Zəfər paradı) was held on 10 December, in Azadliq Square, Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. It was held in honor of the Azerbaijani victory during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war,[1] officially described as the Patriotic War in Azerbaijan.[2] The parade was held with 3,000 military servicemen who distinguished themselves during the war marched alongside military equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft,[3] as well as Armenian war trophies,[1] and Turkish soldiers and officers,[4] while navy vessels performed maneuvers in the nearby Bay of Baku, and jets and helicopters flew above the city.[5][6] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a key ally of Azerbaijan in the war,[2] also attended the military parade as part of a state visit to Baku.[7]

The military parade aroused great interest among Baku residents, who gathered in different parts of the city and tried to watch the parade closely, despite the COVID-19 related regulations.[8]

The parade was criticized in Armenia due to the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev declaring the Syunik, Gegharkunik, and Yerevan regions of Armenia to be the "historical lands" of Azerbaijanis,[9] and Erdoğan's remarks on the spirit of Enver Pasha, who was one of the masterminds of the Armenian genocide.[10] Both statements were condemned by Armenian prime minister Nikol Pashinyan.[11] In later speech Aliyev claimed to "have no territorial claims to any country, including Armenia".[12] However, Aliyev has made irredentist claims over Armenian territories multiple times, vowing to "return to them", declaring: "Yerevan is our historical land and we Azerbaijanis must return to these historical lands".[13][14] Later on 22 July 2021, Aliyev made another irredentist claim over Armenia's province Zangezur (Syunik), saying that it's "our own territory".[15]

During the parade, Erdogan also recited parts of a controversial Soviet Azerbaijani poem, which sparked tensions with neighboring Iran.[16]
