Today, the Azerbaijani army is highly efficient and is always ready to
liberate the occupied lands of Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani official Aydin
Mirzazade told the official website of the ruling New Azerbaijan party.
Azerbaijani army is a structure that meets the most modern
requirements, Mirzazade said.
He said until now the state has taken significant steps for Azerbaijani
armed forces to meet NATO standards.
In his opinion, these facts are well known also in Armenia which has
occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories and built its whole
policy on the occupation of lands of neighboring countries.
"Today the Azerbaijani army is an indication of the power of the
Azerbaijani state, proud of the Azerbaijani people, an army highly
trained to ensure the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan," deputy
chairman of the committee said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
