Armenia should draw the necessary conclusions from the statement of
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev that part of the profit to be made
from the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline will be channelled into the
defence sphere, Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markaryan told
journalists today.
He said Armenia should also increase its defence budget as much as it
can.
At the same time, the prime minister said Armenia's military budget
could not compete with Azerbaijan's.
