Baku - APA. "The state budget of Armenia has made $2.2 bln this year,
at the same time, the budget deficit in Armenia will be $326.5 mln
(about 14.5% of the budget).
In spite of this, the military expenditures in the budget are 17%.
This figure has been 8.1% in Azerbaijan this year. In accordance with
the plan for 2013, Armenia is going to spend $450 mln or more than
16% of the budget expenditures for military purposes. For comparison,
this figure is 7.7% in Azerbaijan", head of the political analysis and
information provision department of the Presidential Administration,
Elnur Aslanov told journalists, APA reports.
Comparing the percentage of military expenditures in the budgets
of Armenia and Azerbaijan, the representative of the Presidential
Administration noted that the indicators of Armenia were two times
higher than Azerbaijan: "This is a obvious demonstration of the
high level arming of Armenia. Trying to maintain the status quo
in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, the Armenian leadership not
only deepens socio-economic situation in the country, depriving
the younger generation of the future, but also demonstrates that it
is not interested in peace and stability in the region. Therefore,
all statements of the Armenian government on peace and security in
the region collapse as a house of cards against the background of
xenophobic statements of the Armenian president."
