May 10, Fineko/abc.az. The Azerbaijani Army is among the most powerful armies in the world – both from the point of view of equipment and combat capability.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev stated about this in an address to the Azerbaijani people on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of national leader Heydar Aliyev.

The president said: “Our army has been in the battle. Our army has shown its strength not in a parade but on the battlefield. During 44 days, not a single person took a step back. Not a single person was a deserter. This is what our army is. This is what our people are. Because the army is a part of the people, those who serve in the army are the people's children, the children we have raised. We have raised such wonderful children who defeated the enemy here in Shusha, drove the enemy out of our lands and raised our flag, a symbol of our pride, on this building and in all other liberated lands. Army building is provided at the required level today and will continue to be provided in the future.”
