The Economist recently published an article about the possible
deterioration of the situation in the mountainous Karabakh. The
publication suggests that the two sides that are in conflict -
Armenia and Azerbaijan - are increasing their military budgets. In
2013, Azerbaijan spent $3.7 billion USD, whereas Armenia increased
it military budget by 25% and now its military budget is at $450
million USD. The Azeri frequently talks of a possible military
solution to the conflict, whereas Armenians promise to punish the
"aggressor." In the October 9 presidential election in Azerbaijan,
Ilham Aliyev will win again. However, The Economist does not exclude
the possible escalation of the situation.
