For the first time in the history of its armed forces, Azerbaijan
held a presentation today to show purchased military hardware. The
country has purchased fourth-generation MiG-29 fighters to defend
its air space and ensure air superiority.

These fighter planes have unequalled manoeuvring capacity and weapons
arsenal. They are superior to MiG-23 and early-generation MiG-29 jets
possessed by Armenia as well as NATO’s F-16 and Tornado aircraft.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
