Hasanov stressed that Armenian army fought with the whole staff in April 2016, while Azerbaijani army with only 20 percent of the full staff. "I often meet with the militarymen in the front line and listen to their problems and appeals. We announce the Open Door Day every three months, and parents meet with their soldiers, familiarized with the their situation in the military units. We do not hide anything. Sometimes false information is spread that soldiers serving in the military units have difficult conditions. I want to tell those who spread such news that a lie has a short life. Since parents see how their children live and you cannot deceive them. The Azerbaijani state allocates great amount to keep combat capability of our army at a high level. And it depends on the strong economy of Azerbaijan. "

"We are currently using the experience of the states being in a condition of war. We use Turkey's experience in combat training. As the brotherly country has great experience in this field," the Defense Minister added.
