Azerbaijan's activity, aimed at raising the military force, does not pursue the goal to be above someone, but provides for strengthening of military force and restoration of territorial integrity, said spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim at a traditional briefing.
He commented on the statements of Assistant US Secretary of State Daniel Fried regarding absence of military superiority of Azerbaijan over Armenia, made during the hearing in the US congress on the situation in the South Caucasus.
Kh.Ibrahim noted that Azerbaijan conducts reforms in all spheres including in the sphere of politics and they are intended for state system consolidation.
"Fried's words prove that Azerbaijan, has reached success in its development unlike its South Caucasus neighbors", said Ibrahim.
At the same time, he noted that pro-Armenian congressmen made statements not complying with the real state of things and put their interests above the interests of the United States.
"If we recall previous sessions, it should be noted that unlike them, this time, the number of congress members, defending Azerbaijan's position, has risen dramatically and Azerbaijan's position was voiced by some congress members. This is a result of correct steps taken by Azerbaijan", said Ibrahim.
