Azerbaijan's military budget is more than Armenia's budget expenditure.
[Aliyev] We are in the state of war and we must be ready to
liberate our lands militarily at any moment. From this standpoint,
the activities in this sphere certainly satisfy us and it must be
stepped up. However, Naxcivan's security, the strengthening of its
defence capacity is of great significance. Because you are face to
face with the enemy and over the recent years Naxcivan's military
potential has further increased and Naxcivan is capable of defending
itself and extra measures will be carried out in Naxcivan to further
develop its military potential.
