/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia has actually become the world leader in
militarization, said Yuri Baluyevsky, the chief of general staff of
the Russian armed forces at the meeting with the military attaches
of foreign states in Moscow. "Georgia’s defense budget is constantly
growing. It increased 1.5 times this year," Baluyevsky said adding that
recently Georgia has been actively purchasing armament and military
equipment from the other states, including the NATO member states.
"The equipment of soviet (Russian) production is sold everywhere
without certificate and this causes illegal circulation of armament,"
he underscored. He also added that delivery of armament and military
equipment to a conflicting region contradicts with the international
commitments undertaken by the states selling equipment to Georgia,
