Azeri president’s aide says growing military power ‘serious message’ to Armenia
BAKU – The Armenian authorities who hampered negotiated resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 2010 must take into account growing military power of Azerbaijan as a serious message, chief of the Azerbaijan Presidential Administration’s department for socio-political affairs Ali Hasanov said.
"Principles and position of the parties regarding resolution of the conflict are well known. Nevertheless, Armenia`s destructive position causes the talks to lag. Armenians seek to drag out talks at any cost," he said.
"Azerbaijan beefs up its military, develops its defense industry. Budgetary spending on military will exceed $3 billion in 2011. It allows saying that Azerbaijan will never put up with the fact of occupation. No matter how long Armenians delay solution of the problem, Azerbaijan will liberate its lands from occupation sooner or later," he said.
