by Azerbaijan, E. Nalbandian said: "Perhaps these threats are being
made in antcipation of applying pressure. Naturally this can impress
neither Armenia nor Karabakh. Such attempts make the international
community form an obviously negative impression of Azerbaijan".

implemented by the corporation in Armenia and the opportunities of
their expansion. Shimizu representatives stated with satisfaction
