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.
