"The formation of the army is successfully developing in Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani army is today among the powerful armies of the world. The two military parades held in Azerbaijan proved our military power to the whole world. In recent years, significant steps have been taken to modernize the material and technical basis of our army. Of course, our military strength is the main factor for the settlement of Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Today our army is ready to fulfill any duty. We have observed its power in recent years", Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev noted.
The head of state noted that as a result of the successful operation carried out before this event last month, 11,000 hectares of land occupied by Armenians in the early 1990s were liberated by the Separate Combined-Arms Army of Nakhchivan. "The liberated strategic heights allow us to fully control the strategic roads and communication in the area of Armenia. Both April fights and Nakhchivan operation showed that we can and do carry out any task with great professionalism", added President Ilham Aliyev.
