    GORAN LENNMARKER: AZERBAIJAN SHOULD CUT ITS MILITARY BUDGET

    ArmInfo. It is surprising that Azerbaijan spends so much to grow its
    military budget, Special Representative of the OSCE Parliamentary
    Assembly for Nagorno Karabakh and Georgian conflicts, said in Yerevan
    in the course of the 73 Rose-Roth Seminar "Regional Developments
    in the South Caucasus: Challenges, Opportunities and Prospects" on
    Thursday. The event was organized by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly
    in cooperation with the National Assembly of Armenia.

    Goran Lennmarker said that he is not the finance minister of
    Azerbaijan, but the military budget of that country should be
    cut. All the countries in Europe cut their military budgets and the
    South Caucasus states should do the same. Military spending must
    not be increased since it is a stereotype of the past, he said. Goran
    Lennmarker said that Azerbaijan could spend funds on other sectors such
    as education, youth development programs, social programs and others.
