The army is experiencing a period of rapid development, said the minister addressing the opening ceremony of a new defense industry plant in country’s Shirvan city on Friday.

Hasanov underlined the importance of the ongoing reforms in all types of troops in terms of further strengthening the Azerbaijani army’s strength.
