Azertac reported.
Abiyev provided an insight into the development of Azerbaijani armed

the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), particularly
modernisation of the army.
He briefed the Spanish minister on military and political situation in
the region, as well as the causes of the Armenia-Azerbaijan
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Minister noted that the Azerbaijani lands have been under
occupation for 20 years, adding Armenia doesn't want to quit its
policy of aggression.
"Azerbaijan must strengthen its Armed Forces by all means. The four
resolutions of the United Nations have not been fulfilled yet. The
activity of Minsk Group has not produced any results," he stressed.
The Spanish minister said that the fact that four UN Security Council
resolutions on the conflict have not been fulfilled could lead to
serious consequences.
The minister said he supported the implementation of the resolutions
and reiterated that the UN resolutions, aimed at establishing peace,
must be fulfilled.
The two ministers also stressed the importance of signing an agreement
on military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Spain.
