The Azerbaijani army is the strongest in the region, Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev stated.

‘Today our army has a great potential and is the most powerful
in the region’, President Aliyev stated on Monday at an extended
meeting of the government dedicated to the results of the social and
economic development of Azerbaijan in 2011 and tasks defined in 2012,
Interfax-Azerbaijan reports.

The head of state noted that Azerbaijan increased its military
capacity, which causes concern in Armenia.

Azerbaijan made up $4,413bn and in 2011 $3,474bn.

“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
