Azerbaijan should cut its military budget and this will be a part of the process of the Karabakh conflict settlement, said Goran Lenmarker, special envoy of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly on Nagorno Karabakh.
"All European states are currently cutting military budget and the same must be observed in the South Caucasus", he told the Rose Rotte seminar of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
He said the bellicose statements voiced by Azerbaijan are inadmissible.
According to him, there is a need to find a quick solution to the Karabakh conflict as the economies of both Armenia and Azerbaijan suffer from the protracted conflict settlement.
"We should not forget the people who died on the contact line", Lenmarker said.
