    ARMENIAN LEADER SLAMS AZERBAIJAN FOR INCREASING ARMY SPENDING

    Public TV
    April 16 2008
    Armenia

    Armenia's new President Serzh Sargsyan has come out for a more
    proactive and vigorous foreign policy, Public TV reported on 16 April.

    Speaking at a ceremony to introduce a new minister at the Foreign
    Ministry, Sargsyan said that conditions should be created for the
    peaceful and fair settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.

    Sargsyan criticized Azerbaijan for trying to resolve the conflict
    through beefing up its army.

    "Azerbaijan is seriously mistaken if it thinks that its army can
    become combat ready by merely investing dollars within a short period
    of time and that it can resolve the issue of Nagornyy Karabakh with
    the help of its army," Public TV quoted Sargsyan as saying. Sargsyan
    said that the existence of the state of Nagornyy Karabakh was already
    irreversible, adding that Armenia would continue to be the guarantor
    of Nagornyy Karabakh's security, TV reported.
