Azeri President called on Army to be on alert
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev Commander-in-Chief of country's armed forces, has called on Azerbaijani army to be on the alert. Azeri leader believes that war is not yet over, and Azerbaijani army should be "ready to return its lands" at any moment.

"Conflict is not settled yet. We are trying to resolve it through negotiations. However, we firmly stick to our stance: conflict should be resolved based on Azebaijan's territorial integrity; Armenia's armed forces must be deployed from all territories, and our compatriots should return to their homes. We do not consider any other approach beyond these frameworks, and Azerbaijan has several times voiced its position on the issue." Azerbaijan will continue accumulating military power, even though that may require huge expenses, Bakililar.AZ quotes Azeri leader as saying.
