Armenia’s parade covered incomparably more than the Azeri one

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS:

About 820 news sites referred to the military parade held in Yerevan against 80 international news sites that referred to the military parade in Baku, director of "Sociometer" social polls center Aharon Adibekyan said at a news conference today, adding that the majority were English sites.

"We may state that the Baku parade was an advertisement for us. It was interesting for all to see the balance of forces", Adibekyan said.

According to him, all international experts came to a conclusion that the balance is maintained.

"But how much is this conclusion favorable for Azerbaijan? Of course it cannot be favorable. For already ten years Azerbaijan insists that it spends 3-4 times more money on acquiring weaponry. Let's not forget that if Azerbaijan wants to solve the Karabakh issue through force it must have more military priorities and not exceeding once or twice but eight times as the military actions will be held in mountainous territory", expert Artsrun Hovhannisyan said, adding that if experts assure that forces are equal it means that the Armenian side exceeds the Azerbaijani one at least eight times.
