[Presenter] Azerbaijan is an independent state and can defend its
territorial integrity, Defence Minister Safar Abiyev has said in a
statement on the occasion of Armed Forces Day.
[Abiyev] I have a dream. The occupied lands must be liberated and
the tasks of the armed forces are to make preparations and liberate
those lands by force if necessary. Everything takes time.
Azerbaijan gained its independence in 1991. The key issue is to
preserve our independence. Not only Armenia but major states too
were against Azerbaijan. They wanted to keep it under control and
even nowadays they want to achieve this. Time will come and major
states, which are exerting pressure on Azerbaijan, will understand
that Azerbaijan is an independent state and can defend its lands and
territorial integrity.
