ARMENIA AZERBAIJAN'S "OFFICIAL ENEMY"

The Azerbaijani parliament will adopt the military doctrine of the country in upcoming fall where Armenia will be mentioned as "Azerbaijan's chief enemy," Deputy of Azerbaijani Mili Mejlis Zahid Oruj informed in an interview to Day.az.
Qualified as "a constitution in military," the document shall include issues like safety threats, certain factors of various pressures, spots of conflicts, armament of neighbors and so on.

Taking USA as an example, the Azerbaijani parliamentarians are also going to list the countries threatening their country. "For example, U.S. strategic security paper mentions names of countries which fund terrorism and directly support international crime. In my opinion, Azerbaijan must apply that practice," Zahid Oruj said. "Armenia will be mentioned as enemy state in the document," he announced.

The document also mentions Azerbaijan's priorities to integrate with NATO. Azerbaijan wants to become "a part of security of the leading world" through this process. This last point is very interesting since in the "leading world" pictured by Azerbaijan is not acceptable to find enemies among neighbors and to fix it at the level of law.
