Dear Ismail,
a temptative (and dramatically) short answer would be to take a look to the
following reference in Stata (by typing: search for fitstat):
search for fitstat
(manual: [R] search)
There are a couple of versions of fitstat floating around. Usually I
find it is best to take the SSC version, but in this instance Long
and Freese keep the most current version on Long's web page. It is
part of their -spost9- package.
For more details about this issue, I would refer to the 3th and 4th Chapters
of the following Textbook
Long JS, Freese J. Regression Models for Categorical Dependent Variables
Using Stata. 2nd Ed. College Station, TX: Stata Press, 2006: 104-112;
154-157.
Some of that material is summarized here:

Other stuff on hypothesis testing and model comparisons can be found here:
http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam/stats2/Logistic-Stata9.pdf
Long and Freese have some great stuff, but it is useful to remember
that if you are mass producing statistics, like some of their
routines do, your significance levels can be misleading (e.g. you do
20 tests at the .05 level, and even if the null is true in every
case, by chance alone you expect to get one significant result.)
