/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armament drive in the Caucasus is pregnant with
unpredictable consequences, the Armenian Foreign Minister said.
"Azerbaijan keeps on increasing its defense budget and announcing plans
to resolve the Karabakh conflict by the use of force. Any incident at
the line of contact can lead to destabilization," Edward Nalbandian
said during a joint news conference with OSCE Secretary-General Marc
Perrin de Brichambaut.
At that he remarked that OSCE doesn’t give an adequate assessment of
Azerbaijan’s violations of the CFE norms.
For his part, Mr. de Brichambaut emphasized that the OSCE is the forum
for resolution of conflicts between the member countries. "Peaceful
resolution of conflicts is a common principle for all OSCE member
states," he said.
