BAKU, AUGUST 23, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev has
rekindled his war rhetoric today telling a crowd in a remote Hajigabuli
region that Azerbaijani army is getting stronger day after day and
is ready to liberate Armenian-controlled areas.
"We are taking every possible measure to raise the efficiency of our
armed forces," he was quoted by Azerbaijani news agencies as saying.
He boasted of growing military spending which he said have equaled
Armenia’s total budget. "It is impossible to imagine that a country
may attack Azerbaijan today," he said.
