/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Militarization is in progress in Azerbaijan, which
continues large-scale production and purchase of military equipment,
Vardan Khachatryan Social Democrat Hunchakian Party administration
member said.

As he said at the joint news conference in Yerevan with RPA member
Karen Avagyan, the quantity of military equipment acquired by Baku
runs counter to international agreements. "Armenia has to raise this
issue and demand explanations from Azeri side," Vardan Khachatryan
stated, characterising Azerbaijan’s explanations on the issue as
unsatisfactory.

Commenting on Baku’s military development, Karen Avagyan noted that
there’s no reason to feel threatened by Baku’s proceedings, as military
modernization is being successfully implemented in Armenia at present.
