YEREVAN.- Belligerence coming from Azerbaijan is unacceptable for Armenia and must be condemned, Secretary of National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan told journalists on Thursday.

“One should not voice warlike statements and then speak about talks. Azerbaijan has already come out in its true colors. World community considers such position unacceptable and worthy of condemnation,” Baghdasaryan stressed.

Asked whether Azerbaijan’s recent purchase of weapons from Israel will affect the balance of forces, Baghdasaryan said that all existing problems are studied thoroughly.

“The most important thing is the Council adopted 2011-2015 state program of supplies of military equipment and ammunition. Under this program, Armenia will be supplied with modern equipment,” he said.

NSC Secretary said the Armenian side is doing its utmost not to permit change in the balance of forces despite the fact that Azerbaijan is spending huge money on military build-up.

“We must not be worried about Azerbaijan’s military build-up but have to modernize our military potential,” Baghdasaryan concluded.
