President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev:

We don't need anyone's help or patronage. When we needed help, no one helped us. When we had a million refugees, no one reached out to us.

Everything we achieved, we bought with money, including all our weapons - at world market prices, down to the last bullet.

No one gave us even one manat or one dollar discount. Sometimes we were even sold at a price several times the world market price, and we had to turn a blind eye to it.
