YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan's military budget is directly linked with money
laundering, Sargis Asatryan, an expert in Azerbaijani affairs, stated
during a press conference on Thursday.
"Azerbaijan's officials and [military] command staff use the
[country's] military budget for money laundering. According to
representatives of the neighboring country, the money is not at all
used for the soldiers' needs. On the contrary, much of the military
budget is going into the pockets," the analyst noted.
In Sargis Asatryan's words, Azerbaijan is purchasing old military
equipment and weapons, and the overinflated budget only partially
contributes to raising the combat-readiness of the Azerbaijani army.
To note, Azerbaijan continually increases its military budget, and
Azerbaijan has violated all OSCE standards, in terms of the number
of weapons purchased, since a long time.
