Baku declares readiness to “liberate” Karabakh
Hasanov noted that the purpose of his department is precisely to prepare the army for a real war, because the peace settlement negotiations are not the work of the military. He recalled that such a task before the command was set by President Ilham Aliyev. And it will be fully implemented in a few years.
According to the minister, at present the republic’s armed forces are 90% equipped with automated control systems, 80% of military personnel are contract servicemen. In addition, the military continues to update the fleet of military equipment and the purchase of new artillery systems.
He also promised to show at the June 26 parade the Russian Shield missile and artillery complex.
Recall, at the beginning of the year, President Aliyev stated that Yerevan is “historical land "of Azerbaijanis, therefore the strategic task of the republic is the return of this city.
Since 1994, a cease-fire has been established between Azerbaijan and Armenia in the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. At the same time, Baku refuses to negotiate directly with representatives of Karabakh, since it does not consider them a party to an interstate conflict.
