“Azerbaijan achieved great success in the field of foreign policy last year.
Our country became the non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. Azerbaijan won the confidence of the world community”, said President Ilham Aliyev at the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on socio-economic outcomes of 2011 and plans for 2012
The Head of State said that as a result of Armenia’s non-constructive position, no progress has been achieved in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in 2011. Speaking about the positive cases, President Aliyev highly appreciated the statement by the leaders of the three co-chair countries in 2011 about the inadmissibility of the status quo. He emphasized the importance of the fulfillment of resolutions adopted for acceleration of the conflict solution.
President Aliyev said Azerbaijan was increasing its defense potential. Our military expenditures were USD 3 413 million in 2010, but it was USD 3 474 million in 2011.
“Our army has great opportunities today. We have strongest army in the region”, said the Head of State and noted that the defense potential of Azerbaijan alarms Armenia.
