Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov and other officials of the Ministry have visited military units on the front line.

Hasanov inspected the combat readiness and social conditions of the military personnel. The minister was informed that the personnel serving in the posts in high mountainous areas are supplied with packaged foods, including national dishes, belongings, fuel and heating.

He visited a command observation post located in one of the units, where he was informed of the operational situation and ongoing defense activities.

The Defense Ministry leadership frequently visits the frontline military units to check combat readiness of the servicemen, who frequently face enemy sabotages and attacks. The country also regularly holds military drills to check the training level and fighting capability of the army.

Standing strong against Armenia's unceasing operations along the line of contact, the Azerbaijani leadership empowers the military and has moved to formulate the necessary armament policy by adhering to international requirements.

Azerbaijan's internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh territory turned into a conflict zone following Armenia's aggression in the early 1990s. As a result of an armed invasion, 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory fell under Armenian occupation. Nonetheless, the OSCE has attempted to foster a peaceful resolution to this conflict amid Armenia's persistent derailment.
