Azerbaijan's highly professional army is the most powerful factor
of statehood and resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, MP
Aydin Mirzazadeh believes. He said increasing the armed forces'
fighting capability has become the result of true internal and
economic policies.
"It was a time when Azerbaijan's public budget made up $800 million-$1
billion, of which approximately $130 million allocated for defense,"
Mirzazadeh said. "Today Azerbaijan's budget makes up $22 billion,
of which $3-4 billion is spent on defense."
He recalled that Azerbaijan's military budget is twice more than
military budget of Armenia.
"The Azerbaijani army is armed with modern technology, logistical
support is on high level, and the NATO standards are applied,"
Mirzazadeh noted.
Strong army is one of the powerful factors of Azerbaijan's pressure
on Armenia, he believes.
"The armed forces' task is to liberate the Azerbaijani lands,"
Mirzazadeh said. "Our army is ready for that. Armenia, feeling this
mood, cannot resist this," he stressed adding that now Armenian
generals are obliged to admit superiority of the Azerbaijani army.
According to Mirzazadeh, Azerbaijan prefers to liberate its lands
peacefully, without war.
"This is a chance for Armenia," Mirzazadeh stressed. "The Azerbaijani
president's speech at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on the
socio-economic development in 2011 and impending challenges in 2012
showed that Armenia once again is given a chance. If Armenia does
not use this, it will necessarily reap the bitter results."
