ARMENIAN PRIME MINISTER SAYS AZERBAIJAN'S RECENT STATEMENTS ON KARABAKH SETTLEMENT AROUSE ANXIETY

PanARMENIAN.Net - The recent statements of the Azeri authorities regarding the Nagorno Karabakh settlement cause anxiety, Armenia's Prime Minister Andranik Margarian stated in his interview to Nezavisimaya Gazeta Russian newspaper. In his words, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev confessed that he will not be in a hurry to settle the conflict and would prefer to wait until the country can direct its economic dividends to strengthening the army. The hint is more that understandable, the Premier stated. At the same he noted that the resources of the countries rich in oil are as a rule regulated by a limited number of people and are not used for the welfare of the nation. The money received from the sale of the oil is mostly spent for the development of the military potential of the country, A. Margarian said.
