"The soul of our people is pained and crying
because 'our eagle' [the shape of Azerbaijan on a map] is desperately
trying to survive the countless attacks targeting our bird. But
never forget that an eagle is the king of all birds. A day will
come when our eagle will be healed, and then we will soar high
with dignity, power and grace."
