08 October 2009 [09:47] - TODAY.AZ
“Armenia's military budget could never be compared with ours, especially in recent years, when Azerbaijan’s economy began to develop at a greater pace,” Member of the Security and Defense Committee of Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (parliament) Zahid Oruj said commenting on media reports claiming Armenia will reduce its military budget by 30 percent.
“Even if we take development of Armenia’s military sector both in general and development of its individual components, such as moral stability of army, fighting ability, weapons, Azerbaijan will outperform them to a great extent,” he said.  

“"In recent years, Armenia has not enhanced fighting capacity, it relies only on Russia's help,” the MP said.  

"With regard to reducing military budget of Armenia, it will deepen even more the gap between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the military sphere and increase our competitive advantage,” Oruj said.

“Critical economic situation in Armenia, of course, is reflected in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Compared with previous years, Armenia has changed his tactics and tone in the negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, because it feels the full force and might of Azerbaijan,” he added.

“I hope that the situation in Armenia will persist even further and Armenians will have to finally change their stance on Karabakh,” the MP said.
