PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of the Institute of CIS Countries commented
on Azerbaijan's complaint to the UN Secretary-General of conduction
of a military parade in Stepanakert on May 9.
"Had Azerbaijan not maintained war rhetoric and threatened to use
force, perhaps it would have had the moral basis to be alarmed,"
Konstantin Zatulin told a press conference.
According to him, Baku's militaristic stance was conveyed in both
the statements of Azerbaijan's officials, including Ilham Aliyev and
the state policy of the country, whose military budget exceeds that
of Armenia.
The politician further slammed Azeri authorities' decision to declare
everyone to have visited Nagorno Karabakh Republic persona non grata.
