Military Doctrine is fully prepared and will be discussed at a spring
session of the parliament, MP Zahid Oruj, a member of the Azerbaijani
Parliamentary Permanent Commission on Security and Defense Affairs,
told TrendNews on Dec. 29.
"An international experience has been studied in this field, features
of the region have been examined and all procedure stages have been
finished on its base to adopt a perfect document providing military
security of Azerbaijan," the MP said.
Although it was expected to discuss Military Doctrine of Azerbaijan
at autumn session of the parliament, this issue has not been included
in agenda.
NATO positively assessed Military Doctrine, Oruj said. Besides Military
Doctrine, it is planned to adopt other documents of military character
at a spring session of the parliament.
"A document entitled Strategic Defense Review has been developed for
2009-2015. This document describes principles of Military Doctrine,
as well," the MP said.
Military Doctrine describes Armenia as an invader, danger and enemy
for Azerbaijan.
In accordance with Military Doctrine, military service on the base
of a contract will be applied in the Army. Moreover, the document
comprises all field of army establishment, including establishment of
military industry and international military cooperation," Oruj said.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost the Nagorno-Karabakh, except of Shusha and Khojali, in December
1991. In 1992-93, Armenian Armed Forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and
Nagorno-Karabakh's seven surrounding regions. In 1994, Azerbaijan
and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which time the active
hostilities ended. The countries keep on peace negotiating.
OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by USA, Russia, and France is engaged in
peace settling of the conflict.
