By estimation of international financial institutions, Azerbaijan
will earn $140 bln only from the oil projects for 20 years.

"Azerbaijan will take advantage of these opportunities to strengthen
the army, so that any moment it could win our occupied lands back. I
have no doubt about that and hope that our policy will lead to this,"
said President Ilham Aliyev at the graduation ceremony at the Heydar
Aliyev High Military School.

According to the President, Armenia gets nothing by temporizing.

"The time is not working for them, and on the contrary, the time is
on our side" said the President.

"Azerbaijan will never put up with separation of Nagorno-Karabakh
from Azerbaijan, and will restore its territorial integrity by either
peaceful or military means."
