Azerbaijan is living in a state of war with Armenia and the war is
still continuing, said President Ilham Aliyev at a military parade
in Baku marking the 90th anniversary of the creation of Armed Forces.

A ceasefire is in force, said the President, adding it, however,
does not mean that the war is over.

We must be ready to liberate our native lands at any time, and this
is why we are building strong army, he noted.

Azerbaijan staged a military parade Thursday featuring troops, rocket
launch systems, tanks, helicopters and fighter jets.
