"Our concern to spend much on diplomatic missions is justified,"
said the foreign minister of Armenia Edvard Nalbandyan in NA session
today. The minister said that Azerbaijan spends more money on
diplomatic and campaign missions; hence Armenian officials should
examine carefully the state budget of 2009 in order to meet the
difference.
"I hope you'll support us as we really need in carrying out deep and
serious publishing, campaigning and other correspondent activities,"
said the minister and added that Armenia follows Azerbaijan not only
in having weak campaign but also in diplomatic aspect also. "We say
that we buy new buildings for diplomatic missions, but compare - in
2007 Azerbaijan spent 20mln dollars buying buildings and we spent 1,
2mln," he said.
E. Nalbandyan added that we should act as much as we can, but it
does not mean that we should ignore such significant points. The
minister said that Azerbaijan has 15 more embassies than Armenia,
and notified that last year Armenia opened no new embassies.
