Lenkeran Aliyev: `Azerbaijan's Armed Forces are the strongest in the
South Caucasus'
[ 15 Apr. 2006 16:29 ]
`Our officers-leading force of the Azerbaijan's Army is ready to
fight war. However, we are training more professional officers for
the Azerbaijani Armed Forces,' chief of Defense Ministry Training and
Education Center (TEC), Major-General Lenkeran Aliyev told
journalists (APA).
Mr. Aliyev said the Azerbaijani Armed Forces are the most trained and
the strongest in the whole South Caucasus. He stressed the hostile
Armenia's Army is many times weaker from moral-psychological and
professionalism aspects.
`Armenians depend on the Russian military bases in the country.
Therefore, their national Army is many times weaker than ours,' the
Ministry official underscored.
Aliyev also said youths have begun to show more interest in military
sphere recently. In his words, the young men conscripted into the
army are trained beforehand.
`We have a normal base which provides an opportunity to meet NATO
standards in military training. Our military training is many times
professional than that of Armenians. Belarusian officers also confirm
it. But I think the military training is still not in satisfactory
level. Much needs to be done and more professional officers should be
trained,' Aliyev added.
Touching on housing of servicemen, the General said they have raised
this question at the Defense Ministry and the Supreme Commander-in-
Chief.
`Our proposals have been positively responded. The Supreme
Commander-in- Chief is interested in living conditions of out
military men. I made it urgent to provide military trainers in the
center with houses. Most of military trainers have no house to live,'
he underlined.
Lenkeran Aliyev considers it important to publicise truths on the
Army to remove negative stereotypes in the public regarding the Army.
Admitting that there are some shortfalls in the Army, Aliyev said
measures are being implemented to remove these deficiencies.
`You witness the processes in other structures. If compared, the Army
looks stronger,' the General concluded./APA/
