Aydin Mirzazade "The military and strategic cooperation of Azerbaijan
and Turkey is on the highest level.
Our countries have always assisted to each other in different spheres
including military", said deputy chairman of the MM committee on
defense and security Aydin Mirzazade.
"The decree to ratify the agreement on free military aid between the
governments of Azerbaijan and Turkey recently signed by the president
of the country is another proof of our strategic relations", Mirzazade
said.
He said "today the Azerbaijani army is not the same it was in the
early 90s. Today, this is the strongest army in the region. Moreover,
we have a reliable military industry. Thus, our army is capable of
freeing its territories from occupants".
Asked whether Turkey will help Azerbaijan in case of war, considering
that Armenia is CSTO member, the deputy noted that CSTO has no right
to interfere with this conflict.
"Even the CSTO leadership recognizes that. If Azerbaijan starts
hostilities, it will launch them in its territory and it can cooperate
with any country in liberation of its lands from occupants. We do not
need the lands of other countries, we need to return our lands and the
Azerbaijani people support the position of the president in this
matter".
