Wed 25 June 2014 05:38 GMT | 6:38 Local Time
Azerbaijan's armed forces are in full alert and ready to fulfill any
combat mission.
Reforms in the army created new conditions for improving the
operational, combat and moral-psychological training of the army.
Oxu.az reports referring to Haqqin.az that this was stated in
an interview given to AzerTag by Azerbaijani Defense Minister,
Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov in anticipation of the 96th anniversary
of the Armed Forces.
The Minister said that the country's military budget has risen 20
times in the short term, measures are taken to improve the social
conditions of servicemen.
The Minister also noted tireless efforts in the preparation of
national cadres and high increase of their professionalism and
intellectual level.
"Currently, 253 military personnel are educated abroad. In accordance
with the Azerbaijan-NATO Action Plan on the joint educationa new
subject "Strategy and planning for defense was introduced into the
training program", said the Minister.
Zakir Hasanov also spoke about the work towards strengthening the
morale of the armed forces. He noted that in any army severity of
military service and the way to victory are on the shoulders of
ordinary soldiers: "Therefore, there is a daily work to improve
the will and faith to win in the army. We created a new service
"Managing moral-psychological training and public relations". Military
psychologists are working on the moral and psychological training
of personnel. In addition, special attention is given to the study
of the life and activity of national heroes, historical figures,
heroes of the Great Patriotic and Karabakh War.
Regarding incidents on the front line, which occurred in June, Zakir
Hasanov noted that, despite the declared ceasefire, Armenian armed
forces constantly violate it, firing at our positions and even at
the civilian population living in the border areas, send sabotage
and reconnaissance group to our territory.
"We need to speak to enemy his own language. And we act this way. Be
sure, our army gives them the worthy response and the enemy suffer
losses. Our officers and soldiers destroy enemy positions with return
fire, they will take revenge and avenge our martyrs. We are very
concerned that the Armenian army shoot civilians, kill and hurt them.
Armenians fire from positions in Ijevan, Noyemberian, Berd and
Krasnoselsky areas on human settlements of Kazakh, Agstafa, Tovuz,
Gadabay and Dashkasan regions. These actions of the Armenian side are
aimed at expanding the area of occupation. In this way they demonstrate
their true face to international community once again. But the world
and human rights organizations keep silence. We can act like them. We
can destroy any facility or location in the territory of Armenia. Our
army has all the opportunities to do this. However, the principles
of humanism and humanity inherent in our people do not allow us
to cross the line. What is the fault of peaceful people, children,
old men and women?
We are bringing this issue to the attention of the international
community and organizations - the UN, PACE, EU, OSCE and others,
demanding to stop the occupation policy of Armenia and to liberate
our territories.
Because of the recent situation on the front, hundreds of people
come to us with a request to send them to the front. This comes
out of hatred for the enemy and desire to liberate their homeland",
the minister said.
