Azerbaijan has to be ready, at all times, to liberate its territories
occupied by Armenia using force, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said.
"Azerbaijan has been building up its military might in a concerted
effort. We should be ready for war at any time, because we have no
peace yet, we have only a truce," Aliyev said at the opening of a
Training Center of the State Special Security Service in the village
of Perekushkul.
The Azeri Army should remain at a high level of combat readiness for
this end.
Azerbaijan has been permanently increasing its military expenditures.
"In 2004, we allocated $175 million for these tasks, and in 2008,
$1.3-billion are previewed. This is a very high figure and it will
make it possible to resolve all military issues," Aliyev said.
"We intend to create a very strong military-industrial sector,
to strengthen the social sector supporting troops. After this, the
buildup of the military will be accelerated," Aliyev said.
