Azeri President Ilham Aliyev on Friday credited his country with
generating serious international support in 2008 for its position in
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"A resolution by the UN General Assembly that supports the position
of Azerbaijan marks a political and diplomatic success for us,"
Aliyev told a government meeting.
Another achievement is a declaration that he and Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan signed in Moscow, Aliyev said.
He said that in 2009 Azerbaijan would spend an equivalent of $2.3
billion on defense.
