Azerbaijan has facts proving Armenia`s violating the restrictions
imposed by the Treaty on Conventional Arms in Europe, the Foreign
Ministry said.
"Armenia has violated the indicated limit by 70 units, and Baku has
information about over 300 armored vehicles based in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan," it said in a statement.
It also said that under the deal, Armenia is not allowed to maintain
over 220 armored vehicles and the same number of tanks.
After the Soviet collapse in 1991, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia had
the right to keep military machinery of the same volume – 220 tanks,
220 armored fighter machines, 285 artillery systems, 100 planes and
50 helicopters. Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan is strictly following
the quota.
