Today is the day of establishment of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

APA reports that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were established in Ganja by the decision of the parliament of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic dated June 26, 1918.

After the collapse of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1920, the army was disbanded and on October 9, 1991, by the decision of the Supreme Soviet, the Armed Forces were re-established.

At present, Azerbaijan is the strongest state in the South Caucasus in terms of both combat capability and material and technical capabilities.

The structure of the Armed Forces includes the Land Forces, the Air Force and the Air Defense Forces, and the Navy.

The people of Azerbaijan are already celebrating Armed Forces Day with great joy and pride.

The glorious Azerbaijani Army led by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, has crushed the Armenian armed forces, which have been occupying Azerbaijani lands for 30 years.

Karabakh, our ancient and historical land, has been liberated from enemy occupation.
