    AZERI LEADER SAYS EXCLAVE'S MILITARY POTENTIAL TO BE INCREASED

    Azerbaijani Public TV (ITV)
    June 3 2008

    [Presenter] After the Caspian Oil and Gas Exhibition, President Ilham
    Aliyev and Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva have flown to the Naxcivan Autonomous
    Republic. Inaugurating a series of public facilities in Naxcivan,
    the president spoke about the Armenian-Azerbaijani-Nagornyy Karabakh
    conflict and said that along with the activities, we have to be always
    ready for the liberation of the occupied lands by force.

    [Presenter over video of the president in Naxcivan] As part of his
    visit to Naxcivan, President Ilham Aliyev inaugurated the Culfa
    district central hospital.

    [Presenter] Speaking about the army building, the president said that
    Azerbaijan's military budget is more than Armenia's budget expenditure.

    [Aliyev] We are in the state of war and we must be ready to
    liberate our lands militarily at any moment. From this standpoint,
    the activities in this sphere certainly satisfy us and it must be
    stepped up. However, Naxcivan's security, the strengthening of its
    defence capacity is of great significance. Because you are face to
    face with the enemy and over the recent years Naxcivan's military
    potential has further increased and Naxcivan is capable of defending
    itself and extra measures will be carried out in Naxcivan to further
    develop its military potential.
