Britain's May will still be PM at year end: finance minister June 22, 2017 - 13:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Theresa May will still be British leader at the end of this year, finance minister Philip Hammond said on Thursday, June 22, according to Reuters. May's future is unclear after her botched gamble on a snap election left her Conservative Party short of a majority in parliament. Asked by BBC television if he believed May would remain premier into 2018, despite presiding over a minority government, Hammond replied: "Yes I do." "I would remind you that when we formed the coalition (with the Liberal Democrats) in 2010 people... were saying then 'Oh it won't last till Christmas'. But it proved extraordinarily resilient," Hammond said.  Top stories Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. In 2023, the Azerbaijani government will increase the country’s defense budget by more than 1.1 billion manats ($650 million). The bill, published on Monday, is designed to "eliminate the shortcomings of an unreasonably broad interpretation of the key concept of "compatriot". The earthquake caused a temporary blackout, damaged many buildings and closed a number of rural roads.
