The latest parade has shown the strength of the Azerbaijani army, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said at the July 18 session of the Cabinet of Ministers.
Azeri mass media quote Aliyev as saying, "We have demonstrated the latest models of weapons, ammunitions and armored vehicles at the parade. The helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles, artillery units, anti-air defense installations and others have again showed that the Azerbaijani army is among the strongest armies in the world."
"Armenia was concerned about the parade. I know that Armenia still has a feeling of hysteria, panic and fear. It has seen the power of Azerbaijan and once again realized that we are ready for any variant. With the purchased military technique, we are able to destroy any enemy. As I said during the parade, we can speak with the enemy in any language. In addition to all political and diplomatic efforts, our military power will play a key role in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict", he said. "We will keep on building our military power and we will keep on purchasing modern military equipment", Aliyev added.
Aliyev also pointed out that Armenian people should not be afraid of that. He thinks that Armenian people should be afraid of their own government. "They should be scared of corrupt criminal authorities, which makes them live the way they do now. For this reason every year about 100,000 Armenians leave the country forever", he said.
