Доклад «Глобальный индекс милитаризации» указывает на стремительную милитаризацию Азербайджана и Армении

БАКУ, 14 ноя – 1NEWS.AZ

Боннский международный центр конверсии опубликовал ежегодный «Глобальный индекс милитаризации», согласно которому Азербайджан входит в первую десятку самых милитаризованных стран мира.

Как передает 1news.az со ссылкой на Newsru, индекс милитаризованности определяется как соотношение оборонного бюджета государства и его валового внутреннего продукта.

Также в расчет принимаются расходы на образование, здравоохранение и ряд других факторов.

В документе отмечается стремительное вооружение Азербайджана и Армении, которое дает основания опасаться возобновления нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Другие опасные точки связаны с территориальными спорами между КНР и ее соседями.

Несмотря на то, что по степени милитаризации Китай находится на 82 месте, его военный бюджет в 129 миллиардов долларов – второй в мире.

Турция занимает в рейтинге милитаризации 24-ю строчку с 609 баллами, Ирак – 26-ю, Египет – 28-ю. У США, обладающих самым высоким оборонным бюджетом в мире, он составляет 689 миллиардов долларов, - 29-я строка с 591 баллом.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
