Aliyev again says "war is not over"

PanARMENIAN.Net - After the USSR decline, Azerbaijan spared no effort to form an efficient army. Today, the Azeri army is the strongest in the region, according to the Azerbaijani President.



"During a meeting with our soldiers I noticed ardent patriotism," Ilham Aliyev said at a parade dedicated to 90th anniversary of the Azeri army formation.



Azerbaijan is building a military-industrial complex. Most of armament and defense technologies we buy from foreign states but we want to produce ammunition ourselves. Azerbaijan's defense budget increased 10 times during the past 5 years. Talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict are continuing but the issue is not settled yet. War is not over. It's only the first stage of war that's finished. We are ready to liberate our lands at any moment," Aliyev said.



"The international law, economic possibilities and military industry are our advantages. Today, the Azeri army is the strongest in the region," he resumed, Day.az reports.
