that Azerbaijan signed agreements and memorandums with 29 countries
creating legal basis of military relations. Now Azerbaijan is
discussing similar documents with another 27 countries.
300-400 different language and career courses, working meetings,
workshops, conferences, HQ talks, consultations and other events are
planned and held on bilateral defense cooperation in Azerbaijan and
other countries within the current year. At least 1500 representatives
of the armed forces attend these events every year.

military expenditures over the last 8 years over 20fold. In Azerbaijan,
military spending increased by 39.74 million manats to 1.36 billion
manats (about 1.73 billion U.S. dollars) in 2011. It is also reported

of its overall annual budget, increasing to 1.38 billion manats
