    On the occasion of the Knowledge Day RA Defense Minister Serge
    Sargsyan visited the Military Institute after Monte Melkonayn. The
    minister learned about the situation in the Institute and promised to
    undertake measures to make the Institute one of the exemplary
    educational establishments in Yerevan.

    The Minister also spoke about domestic policy issues. President of the
    Republican Party Council declared he does not consider the `Prosperous
    Armenia' Party an opponent. The `Prosperous Armenia' is a force that
    has declared about its political objectives. What this force will be
    like, we'll know after the elections,' the Minister said.

    What does Serge Sargsyan think about the rumors that there are many
    criminals among the Republicans? `Let them go and check their party
    lists,' the Minister suggested.

    As for the Karabakh issue, the Defense Minister is moderately
    optimistic: ` The year is not over yet, and we cannot say we have no
    expectations.'

    In Serge Sargsyan's words, 2007 military budget of Armenia will
    increase parallel to the GDP growth, and the military expences will
    not increase at the cost of the reduction of financing to other
    spheres. As for Azerbaijan, the Minister considers it will not reduce
    its military budget, notwithstanding the urging of the European Union.
