June incident
The incident occurred near the village of Chayli, located in the province of Mardakert/Tartar in Nagorno-Karabakh on June 18–19. Warrant officer Mubariz Ibrahimov, wrote a letter at around 11.30 PM on June 18, 2010, [6] and started to move towards the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact without informing anyone in the unit he was serving in. With the darkness of the night and his camouflage, he passed through a kilometer (0.62 mi) mined area alone and raided the Armenian military outpost in the then-occupied Chayli village of Terter region. [8] [9] Here, Ibrahimov fought the Armenian forces for five hours using the ammunition at the military station and died around 5 AM. [8] According to numerous sources, he killed 45 [8] [10] [11] [12] or 140 [14] Armenian soldiers. Vladimir Putin had said in a speech that Ibrahimov had fought and killed 135 Armenian soldiers. [15] However, according to the Armenian Government, Ibrahimov killed 4 Armenian soldiers [16] and injured 4. [17]
Mübariz's father said that when it was understood that Mübariz was missing from his unit, he received a call early in the morning about the incident and was asked whether his son had come home and that he had taken many weapons and ammunition and left the unit he was stationed in. His father said this in his answer: "I know my son, go towards the border." [18]
In the letter of Ibrahimov wrote before leaving his unit and attacking the Armenian Outpost he wrote:
Letter to my father and mother. My dear father and mother. Do not worry about me. Hopefully we will meet in heaven. Pray a lot for me. My heart can no longer bear the difficult days of my homeland. I have to do this for God's sake. At least my heart will calm down. I hope I will go against these dishonorable people until I become a martyr. If I become a martyr, do not cry, on the contrary, be happy that I have risen to that level. Do not neglect your worship to Allah. Give lots of charity.
As one of the descendants of the prophet, I must do this.
Allah is great. Thank you homeland.
Forgive your rights.
Your son, Mubariz.
İbrahimov Mübariz [19] [20]

[2] Armenian forces retaliated the next day by launching an attack near Fizuli on June 20–21, killing one Azerbaijani serviceman.

Military analysis
Richard Giragosian, the director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies and a former defense analyst for Jane's , described the intrusion as "either a test on Armenian response or a sign of lack of command and discipline in the Azerbaijani military." [24] He described it as "more professional and more deadly than previous such incursions" and had been planned days in advance. [5] The fact that the attack began with an Azerbaijani sniper inflicting a fatal head wound on an Armenian soldier was further evidence of this, he said. [5]

The First Nagorno-Karabakh War was an ethnic and territorial conflict that took place from February 1988 to May 1994, in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh in southwestern Azerbaijan, between the majority ethnic Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh backed by Armenia, and the Republic of Azerbaijan with support from Turkey. As the war progressed, Armenia and Azerbaijan, both former Soviet republics, entangled themselves in protracted, undeclared mountain warfare in the mountainous heights of Karabakh as Azerbaijan attempted to curb the secessionist movement in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is an ethnic and territorial conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, inhabited mostly by ethnic Armenians until 2023, and seven surrounding districts, inhabited mostly by Azerbaijanis until their expulsion during the 1990s. The Nagorno-Karabakh region was entirely claimed by and partially controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh, but was recognized internationally as part of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan gradually re-established control over Nagorno-Karabakh region and the seven surrounding districts.
The National Hero of Azerbaijan is the highest national title in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The title was named on 25 March 1992, and the "Qizil Ulduz" Medal awarded as a sign of receiving this title was established by a separate law on 15 July 1992. The law on the title has been in effect since 25 December 1995. It can only be awarded once to the same person.
There are no diplomatic relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two neighboring states had formal governmental relations between 1918 and 1921, during their brief independence from the collapsed Russian Empire, as the First Republic of Armenia and the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan; these relations existed from the period after the Russian Revolution until they were occupied and annexed by the Soviet Union, becoming the constituent republics of Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan. Due to the five wars waged by the countries in the past century—one from 1918 to 1921, another from 1988 to 1994, and the most recent in 2016, 2020 and 2023—the two have had strained relations. In the wake of hostilities, social memory of Soviet-era cohabitation is widely repressed through censorship and stigmatization.
