Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov went to the front on an inspection trip, said the Defense Ministry's press service.
Speaking before a military unit of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, he said the Armenian side once again took an unconstructive position and is trying to tighten the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. "However, we must not allow this to happen and the issue must find its solution in the near future," he said.
"The provocation of the enemy on the border has intensified, but we will stop them and take even more stringent measures,” he warned.
Referring to the missiles Iskander supplied to Armenia by Russia, Hasanov said the Azerbaijani side has full information about the capabilities of these missiles and their appearance has not changed the balance of power in favor of the Armenians.
"We have full advantage in all directions. Against several missiles, which can be applied by the enemy, we will apply thousands of missiles that will destroy the enemy’s military infrastructure entirely in the depth," Hasanov said.
"The April fighting had to be a lesson for the other side, but apparently it was not.
The answer to the next provocation of the enemy will be even more devastating and completely destroy it," Zakir Hasanov said. -02D-
