"I do not deny the fact of 'dedovshina' - physical and psychological abuse of new recruits in the army. But it is rare. Carelessness, lax discipline and new recruits difficulty to adjust to the army may are the main reasons," considered Aydin Mirzezade, deputy chief of the MM permanent commission for security and defense.

He said that there are cases that the unfit are drafted. Resent events in the army prove that fact.

"$900 m remarks for Army, but it is not enough. This capital is spent to purchase new equipments, to pay salaries, to build new barracks and to improve social conditions. There are cases of financial fraud in the Army too. Military Prosecutor’s Office is dealing with the issue," he noted.

He said that professional army is being established in Azerbaijan. Ground forces, Marine forces will be included to the professional staff. The amendments concerning the formation of Armed Forces Main Inspection Office under Commander-in-Chief are not excluded, APA reports.
