Armenia concerned about Azerbaijan exceeding its holdings of TLEsNovember 30, 2007 - 16:07 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "As I reflect on the priorities of the organization as a whole, I must address the CFE, a foundational issue and one that plays an important role in the edifice of military strategic security for the area," Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said in his speech at the 15th session of the OSCE Council of Foreign Ministers. "Presently it is in trouble. We are a state party and the effective functioning of a Treaty in full implementation is essential to our national security. Frankly, we are deeply concerned by our neighbor Azerbaijan blatantly and unapologetically exceeding by substantial numbers its holdings of TLEs.
