Azerbaijan, Baku, 16 May /corr. Trend I.Alizde / The Azerbaijani MP has called upon his colleagues to provide financial assistance to the Army. "The 90th anniversary of establishment of the Azerbaijani Army will be marked in June, and due to it, I call on other MPs to transfer certain amount to the Assistance Fund for Armed Forces," the MP from ruling New Azerbaijan Party, Malahat Hasanova, said in a meeting of the Parliament on 16 May.
The Assistance Fund for Armed Forces of Azerbaijan was established in 2002.
Hasanova said that the Public budget of Azerbaijan has allocated enough amount of fund for the Armed Forces. "Establishing Assistance Fund does not mean that Azerbaijani Army needs money. Each citizen who transfers certain amount to Fund fulfills his/her citizen duty," she said.
