    Military expenditures of Azerbaijan have grown more than 20 times
    over the past few years, amounting to 3.6 billion dollars, President
    Ilham Aliyev told graduates from military educational establishments
    on Monday.

    According to the president, "the Azerbaijani army now ranks among
    the strongest armies not only of the region, but of the whole world".

    "Attention to the army is priority of the Azerbaijani state," and
    the society supports that, the president stressed.

    "Azerbaijan will keep building up the strength of its army and
    increasing its professionalism," Aliyev noted. According to him,
    "the Azerbaijani army defends stability in the region". Focusing on
    the conflict around the mostly Armenian populated Azerbaijani enclave
    of Nagorny Karabakh, Aliyev said his country "has all possibilities
    to restore its territorial integrity".
