Azerbaijan’s military statements are not a mere formality, the First deputy speaker of Azeri parliament Ziyafet Askerov said. As he stressed, Azeri army is ready to fulfil its duty in the shortest terms.

As the deputy speaker remarked, the statements aren’t being made for the sake of rhetoric. ‘They are a reality. At present, economic and military budgets of Azerbaijan allow implementing our statements in the shortest terms. However, we still hope for negotiations to bring some results,” SalamNews reported.
