According to him, Baku’s militaristic stance was conveyed in both the statements of Azerbaijan’s officials, including Ilham Aliyev and the state policy of the country, whose military budget exceeds that of Armenia. The politician further slammed Azeri authorities’ decision to declare everyone to have visited Nagorno Karabakh Republic persona non grata. -st- Politician slams Azeri complaint of Stepanakert’s military parade  Top stories Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult.
