NOTHING CAN STOP AZERBAIJAN
“
I believe that one of the primary goals for us in the
coming years is to further strengthen our Army
and the Armed Forces...Today, necessary steps
are being taken for the future development of our
Armed Forces. Necessary weapons and
equipment are being purchased; new armed units
are being set up. The number of Special Forces
has been increased several times, and the number
of soldiers in the new “Commando” units is in the
thousands, and this process continues.”
President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev

strong and resilient army is one of
A the major factors that characterize
Azerbaijan today. The country’s booming
economic strength has allowed it to focus
on military develeopment and addressing
social issues. With public spending on the
military increasing by leaps and bounds,
Azerbaijan’s army has entered a whole new
world of possibilities.
Azerbaijan’s state budget allotted a total
of AZN 6.421 billion or US$3.77 billion for
defence and national security in 2024, sig-
nificantly more than about US$216 million
allocated the previous year.
The 5th Anniversary Azerbaijan International
Defense Exhibition ADEX, the largest event
in the region dedicated to the defence in-
dustry, comes in the wake of the country’s
army building programs.
