"Azerbaijan intends hiding of its military expenses, thus releases
statements that Armenia obtains armaments or grows budget expenses,"
Karen Saribekyan, a member of NA standing committee on defense,
national security and interior affairs, told Panorama.am referring to
Azerbaijan's critics in address to those countries that sell weapons
to Armenia.
The MP urged Azerbaijan to keep an eye on its own affairs and not to
intervene in those of others.
"Moreover, Azerbaijan's military budget significantly grows every year,
and more funding is allocated to buy weapons. I'm not interested in
who owns the budget and how much is owned, but one thing is obvious,
funding is growing while the international community seems indifferent
to the fact," said K. Saribekyan.
Asked if Armenia has also increased its military expenses, the MP said:
"Yes, and it's quite natural, although unlike Azerbaijan we put forth
efforts to have quality, which we manage to."
