YEREVAN
Yerevan, July 23, ARMENPRESS: The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's
"Conventional arms control in regional and sub regional levels" report
was published, where the situation connected with armaments in the
South Caucasus is presented. As "Armenpress" states it is particularly
mentioned in the report that the fundamental role and importance of the
treaty on the conventional armaments in Europe increased especially in
the South Caucasus, where Azerbaijan unleashed a dangerous arms race.
"According to the treaty of conventional arms in Europe, Azerbaijan
exceeded the limited number of three types of weapons. Azeris have
381 battle tanks instead of permissible 220, 518 points of artillery
weapons instead of permissible 285 and 287 armored cars instead of
permissible 220"; it was stated in the report. Azerbaijan increased
the number of its artillery weapons by 47, striking weapons by 2 and
armored cars by 106.
Azerbaijan's military budget increase, as well as the Azerbaijani
leaders' aggressive and rough military rhetoric enlarges the gap
between the two nations, increases the stress and undermines the
existing problems, particularly the negotiation process of the NK
peaceful settlement.
"In this sense, Azerbaijan's inconsistent policy has a great negative
impact on Armenia's efforts to establish an atmosphere of trust and
cooperation in the region", reads the report.
