"The officers of the Azeri army are ready for war. But we wish to train more professional and skilled officers, head of the training center at the Azeri Defense Ministry, major general Lyankaran Aliyev stated. In his words, the Armenian army yields to the Azerbaijani in all senses. "Armenians rely on the Russian military base. That is why their army is much weaker than ours," he said.

Aliyev also remarked that young people show a greater interest in the military service lately. In his words, they are already trained for serving in the army. "We possess the base allowing to conduct trainings according to the NATO standards. Our officers are much better trained than the Armenian but we still have a great deal of work to carry out," he said, reported APA news agency.
