The London International Institute for Strategic Studies published the
report on `Military Balance 2012,' in which it analyzes the state of
Armenian and Azerbaijani armies.
`Armenian Armed Forces are mostly concentrated on the defense of own
territories because of the conflict with Azerbaijan. Thought Armenian
military doctrine has mostly Russian influence but various programs
which are held abroad assist them to get experience also by the
allies,' the British experts say.
The document mentions that the air forces of Armenia mainly deal with
settlement of technical issues and the defense of the air space is
implemented by the Military Aircraft of Russia through the air base
located in Armenia.
As for the Azerbaijani army, the British experts note that `although
the military expenses continue to grow thanks to oil revenues and the
Azerbaijani army has obtained new kinds of up-to-date weapons, like
"C-300" systems, these achievements do not affect the efficiency of
the Azerbaijani armed forces."
The experts consider that Azerbaijani Army must overcome the Soviet
system. `Despite of the fact Azerbaijani Army has ties with Turkish
Army, there are still many problems there.'
