Azeri military doctrine aims at liberation of occupied lands
The Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani lands is a key threat to
national security, says an Azerbaijani defense doctrine approved by
the parliament.
"The policy endangering Azerbaijani sovereignty and limiting its
economic and other interests, as well as various forms of information
and political pressure are the main threats to this country," Mill
Majilis First Deputy-Speaker and Chairman of the Defense and Security
Committee Ziyafet Askerov said.
The liberation of the occupied lands is the main message sent by this
military doctrine, said Zahid Orudj, a deputy of the pro- governmental
party Ana Veten (Fatherland). "This document may be called the
doctrine of liberation of the occupied Azerbaijani lands," he said.
The doctrine describes any political, military, economic and other
support rendered to Armenia and the unrecognized republic of Karabakh
with the goal of official recognition of the occupation results as an
anti-Azerbaijani action. Baku reserves the right to use any
instruments, including military force, for restoring territorial
integrity, the doctrine says.
The doctrine does not allow the deployment of foreign military bases
in Azerbaijan with the exception of cases specified by international
agreements. However, the republic reserves the right to temporary
deployment of foreign military bases or some other form of foreign
military presence on its territory in case of a drastic change in the
military-political situation.
The doctrine supports the international suppression of terrorism.
