Azerbaijan's military budget, as they claim, hit $3 billion not at
one jump; it was unintelligible and incoherent in 2009-2011. In fact,
the increase of military budget includes common expenses in military
construction, pensions and other fields," military expert Artsrun
Hovhannisyan told Panorama.am.
Los Angeles Times published new data by Stockholm-based International
Peace Research Institute that Azerbaijan, wedged between Russia,
Georgia, Armenia and Iran in the Caucasus region, increased its
military budget by 89% in a single year, the biggest increase
worldwide, the report found. The dramatic growth came in the middle of
increasing warnings of renewed conflict with Armenia over a disputed
territory.
According to the expert Ilham Aliyev's hollow promise, that
Azerbaijan's military spending would align with Armenia's state budget,
should have been presented as implemented.
"However, Azerbaijan has significantly increased its military spending,
threatening the regional security," said the expert.
