About the project

Website mod. gov. az is the official information resource of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The main goal of the portal is to inform citizens and the media about the activities of the armed forces, as well as ensuring transparency of government processes in the field of national security. In the header of the site there is a quote from Heydar Aliyev: The army is the backbone of our country, our people and our state, which sets the tone for all content.

The resource not only aggregates news, but also serves as a digital archive of history. Here you can find materials about the conflict with Armenia, the Eastern War of 2020 and the Khojaly tragedy. The Memory section includes state symbols, holidays and special sections dedicated to the memory of the dead.

Main directions

The structure of the site clearly reflects the hierarchy of the military department. The user immediately sees a list of leadership: from the Minister of Defense to the commanders of the military branches - the Ground Forces, the Air Force, as well as the Chief of the General Staff. This allows you to quickly find information about specific officials.

The content is divided into several key blocks:

• News and press releases. Daily reports on the life of the army are published here. Examples from August 2025 show activity: from training of young pilots and taking the oath to meetings with NATO delegations and commands of foreign armies (particularly Pakistan).
• Combat activity. A separate Frontline News block contains a chronicle of events starting from September 2020. This is an important historical document recording the course of hostilities.
• Military education. The site describes in detail the personnel training system: from the National Defense Academy to military institutes, lyceums named after Jamshid Nakhichevan and Heydar Aliyev, as well as the medical faculty of the Azerbaijan Medical University.
• Legal basis. Texts of laws, statutes, rules for wearing uniforms, insignia, as well as information about awards and emblems are available.

Particular attention is paid to international cooperation. Bilateral relations, participation in peacekeeping missions, work within the framework of the BSSC (CSTO) and interaction with NATO are described. There is also a section about international war games and sports.

Features of the site

An interesting detail is the availability of media resources. In addition to text news, the site actively uses video format. In the Videonews section you can find reports on tactical exercises, aviation flights and official ceremonies. There are even weekly reviews (Weekly Recap) that summarize the week's events.

The archived part of the site works as a full-fledged library.Issues of the Azerbaijan Army newspaper, the Azimuth bulletin, as well as photo and video materials from past years are stored here. This makes the resource valuable for researchers and journalists.

The site also has a feedback function. Citizens can submit applications, find out about reception days, use the hotline or check the waiting list for housing. For those who want to enroll in military educational institutions, advertisements for accepting documents have been posted.
