Azerbaijan plans to double its military budget in 2011, which will enable it to execute its warlike statements, the representative of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) Vahagn Khachatryan told the reporters on October 14.

“We cannot live 100 years in the war-created conditions. Certainly, the moral situation in the Azerbaijani army does not allow Azeris to shed blood and occupy Karabakh. However, the Azerbaijani authorities may provoke such sentiments if the conflict is not resolved,” he said.

According to him, it is necessary to sit at the negotiating table and settle the issue, “making mutual concessions.”

“Perhaps, the NKR recognition by Azerbaijan will be a concession by Azerbaijani side, while the return of some regions in exchange for Karabakh recognition would be a concession by the Armenian side,” the oppositionist said.
