/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is
hopeful that that his upcoming meeting with the Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov will be rich in content.
"This will be a familiarization but I hope that the meeting will
end in agreement to continue talks," Minister Nalbandian told the RA
National Assembly Wednesday.
He said he will inform the MPs of the details of the meeting.
Mr Nalbandian also remarked that concerns over the boost of
Azerbaijan’s defense expenses are not interference in internal affairs
of that country.
"In one of interviews I expressed doubt that the international
community will turn a blind eye to tenfold increase of a country’s
military spending.
Azerbaijan described my words as interference in its internal
affairs. However, the defense budget is not meant for domestic use,"
the Minister said, Novosti Armenia reports.
