    A cutback in spending for RA defense under 2010 budget blueprint
    will make no difference to the state army combat capability, Hrayr
    Karapetyan, ARFD representative and head of NA Standing Committee on
    Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs stated.

    According to him, the draft provides for the same level of defense
    budget as last years, that is 3.5% of GDP. Karapetyan considers that
    all necessary expense items are there, with construction expenditures
    cut only. "Therefore it will not affect the army anyhow. Moreover,
    organizational works are conducted for the armed forces' enhancement,"
    he said. The politician also informed that Armenia put a point before
    international organizations on closer monitoring of Azerbaijan in
    terms of armament, that permanently violates provisions under Treaty
    on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.

    Karapetyan outlined that defensive ability is clearly demonstrated in
    the contact line. MP emphasized Armenia's defense potential is more
    advanced and the recent incidents showed inability of Azerbaijani
    army. "The stories by Azeri leadership are untrue," he concluded.
