EVEN WITH MORE ARMAMENT AZERBAIJAN NOT TO GAIN ADVANTAGE

PanARMENIAN.Net - If the Azerbaijani army was more capable than the Armenian army for only 5 minutes, Azerbaijan would try to settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict through military ways, Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsian said on July 23 when speaking to the participants of the Third Pan-Armenian Youth Gathering. "The question is, if they are capable and willing, then why don't they fulfill their wish?" Sargsian asked. The minister also noted that the Armenian military's funding in 2005 was no less than the Azerbaijani's. According to him the Armenian armed forces have been funded from the country's budget as well as allies, sponsors and organizations have made their contributions, a common practice in the world, Yerkir Online reports.
