Ilham Aliyev: The Azerbaijani army is ready to solve any problems

Today, the Azerbaijani army is able to solve any tasks assigned to it, including the restoration of the territorial integrity of the country, stated  the President Ilham Aliyev, speaking at a military parade  on the occasion of 95th anniversary of the armed forces.

"Azerbaijan is  under the war  conditions. War is not yet over, and the army must be ready at any moment to liberate the occupied lands," said Aliyev.
 
He focused  the attention on measures to strengthen the country's defense potential. Over ten years, the annual military budget of Azerbaijan has increased from 160 million dollars to 3.7 billion dollars. Over the years, purchased about 100 combat and transport helicopters, dozens of combat aircraft, the most advanced air defense systems, armored vehicles, tanks, artillery pieces.
 
At the time when negotiations with Armenia on the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict do not work, Azerbaijan has to increase its military strength.
 
He stressed that the ancient Azerbaijani lands are not only  the presently occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and the  regions around it, but the territory of present-day Armenia. "The Azerbaijani state and people will never give the opportunity to create on their own lands second Armenian state," he stressed.
 
Noting Azerbaijan's commitment to the peaceful resolution of the problem, Aliyev added that "a strong army and a strong potential strengthen the position of Azerbaijan, which is based on the historical truth."
 
 Growth of military power and economic potential of Azerbaijan and further impoverishment of Armenia, and its isolation from the regional processes, will allow to solve the Karabakh problem, and restore the territorial integrity of the country, he said.-06В-
