Expert: Armenia-Azerbaijan balance of forces improves

Correlation of forces between Armenia and Azerbaijan is becoming increasingly balanced, according to the deputy director of Caucasus Institute.As political expert Sergey Minasyan told a news conference in Yerevan, Armenia’s acquisition of new military equipment reduces the possibility of a new war in Karabakh.
