"Our Armed Forces will always maintain the victory and always ensure the territorial integrity of our state."

Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Defense, Security and Combating Corruption Ziyafat Asgarov told APA.

Ziyafat Asgarov said that the independence of each independent state, territorial integrity, security of its people, in short, the state itself is protected by its army: “The great leader said that the army is the support of the state, the people's confidence and source of pride.

June 26 is the Armed Forces Day in our country.

In fact, after the restoration of Azerbaijan's state independence in 1991, the date of the decision of the Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan on the establishment of the Azerbaijani Army - October 9 - was declared the Day of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The choice of June 26 as Armed Forces Day is connected with the name of the Great Leader.

Adhering to the idea that the Republic of Azerbaijan is the successor of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, unlike the previous state leadership, this succession is a moral and important step for our people to strengthen and protect.

The chairman of the parliamentary committee noted that Azerbaijanis were not called up for military service during Tsarist Russia because they did not want Azerbaijanis to master the secrets of martial arts. Although steps were taken, with the collapse of the Republic, this work remained unfinished.

Although young Azerbaijanis were called up for military service during the Soviet era, they did not serve in combat units, but in auxiliary battalions.

The purpose was clear again.

Only after the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev came to power in 1969, thanks to his exceptional services, the process of army building began in our country.

The founder of the modern Azerbaijani Army is the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev.

One of his historical services to our people is to be the architect of the Azerbaijani Army.

Convinced that Azerbaijan will regain its independence and need military personnel, the National Leader has always focused on training national military personnel, strengthening military skills, training military personnel, studying the rich military history, educating young people on the basis of heroic traditions. saved.

During the presidency of Heydar Aliyev, a new vision of military service was formed, practical and organizational work was carried out in this direction, and new requirements were set for the preparation of young people for military service in Azerbaijan.

During the Soviet period, a very important aspect of Heydar Aliyev's military-organizational work on the national level was the training of national officers, the culmination of which was the opening of a military school named after General Jamshid Nakhchivanski in Azerbaijan.

During his leadership of independent Azerbaijan, the national leader formed real armed forces to ensure the military security of Azerbaijan in a relatively short period of time, making the Azerbaijani Army one of the valuable realities of state independence.

The Decree of the Great Leader on the establishment of the Military Academy on February 20, 1999 raised the process of formation of the national military reserve to a new stage of development.

Ziyafat Asgarov noted that one of the important steps taken in building the army under the leadership of the Great Leader was the formation of successful cooperation of our country with foreign countries and international organizations in this field. In particular, close and effective cooperation with NATO has led to the modernization and modernization of our Armed Forces.

In early 1994, Azerbaijan joined NATO's Partnership for Peace, followed by the Planning and Analysis Process in 1996, and the Individual Partnership Action Plan in 2001.

By participating in NATO programs and other bilateral cooperation programs, Azerbaijani servicemen have mastered the latest military innovations, and the Azerbaijani Army, adapted to NATO standards, has become a modern army.

The development, modernization and increase of combat capability of the Azerbaijani Army have been successfully continued during the years of President Ilham Aliyev's leadership, and in general, army building has become a priority of state building.

In recent years, the logistics of the Armed Forces have been renewed, modern infrastructure has been created, and important work has been done to improve the social situation of servicemen.

The development of the presidential industry, especially in the field of defense, should be noted.

Due to the rapidly developing military industry formed in Azerbaijan in recent years, various types of military equipment,

Armored vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, small arms are produced.

Azerbaijan can significantly supply our army with military products produced at its plants.

This determined activity in the field of army building has borne fruit, and we have shown to the whole world the strength and determination of the Azerbaijani Army during the battles of April 2016.

At that time, we already felt that our Karabakh Victory was approaching.

Victory in the 44-day Patriotic War, which resulted in a historic victory over the enemy and the liberation of our lands under the leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, is the culmination of the success of the Azerbaijani army.

The fact that the enemy was forced to sign an act of capitulation is the result of the strength of our army.

Officials from the US Military Academy and the Pentagon,

Military analysts agree on the importance of studying the combat tactics used by the Azerbaijani Army in the Great Patriotic War, considering it a novelty in world military history.

The organizers of this powerful army are, of course, patriotic Azerbaijani soldiers.

As Muzaffar Supreme Commander-in-Chief has repeatedly proudly emphasized, no one in the Azerbaijani Army escaped during the Second Karabakh War.

The state, in turn, always pays the highest level of attention and care to the families of our martyrs and war veterans who sacrificed their lives for the independence of Azerbaijan, especially after the Great Patriotic War.

Restoration of their health, improvement of their material security, provision of housing, cars, increase of employment levels, including the President,

is one of the most important issues in the focus of every government official.

Immediately after the end of the war, on the initiative of the President, the Milli Majlis amended the Law on the Establishment of Orders and Medals of the Republic of Azerbaijan and established new orders and medals to award participants of the Great Patriotic War.

After the historic victory, our activities in the field of army building have intensified.

The need to preserve the victory, the fact that the manifestations of Armenian fascism still appear from time to time, the events in the modern world, the increase in military budgets, the growing tendency to join military alliances, the growing attention to the military industry prove that

countries need a high-tech army to protect their independence.

Opening of new military units in the liberated territories, creation of new Commando military units in our army by the order of the President, increase of the Armed Forces budget, establishment of the National Defense University to improve management in the field of military education, provision of the army with modern military equipment. Participation in international military exercises strengthens the strength of our army.

In September last year, "Long live the Azerbaijan-Pakistan-Turkey brotherhood!"

I would like to emphasize the role of the joint international training "Three Brothers-2021" of the special forces of Azerbaijan, Turkey and Pakistan, which was held for the first time in Baku under the slogan

In general, our recently growing cooperation with brotherly Turkey, which is now one of the world leaders in the development of the military industry, has become one of the main driving forces for the development of our army.

I congratulate all our servicemen and people, including the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, on the occasion of the Armed Forces Day of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Let our people be sure that our Armed Forces will always preserve the victory they have achieved, and will always ensure the territorial integrity of our state.

Our main strength and power is in the state-people-army union formed under the unified leadership of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and our servicemen, strengthened by this union, are determined to win any struggle. '
