Azerbaijan concerned at alleged Armenian-Georgian deal on tank repair

Azerbaijan has raised concern over media reports that Armenian could
send its tanks and other military to Georgia for repair.

On 19 November, the private website Day.az quoted a spokesman for the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Xazar Ibrahim, as saying: "We hope that
Georgia will take into account the continuing Armenian occupation of
part of Azerbaijani territories."

Ibrahim expressed the hope that Georgia would also take into account
the sensitivity of the issue and Tbilisi’s strategic partnership with
Baku.

On 15 November, the independent Azerbaijani daily Ayna quoted
unofficial sources as saying that the Armenian and Georgian defence
ministers had agreed on the repair of Armenian military hardware at
Georgian plants. The deal was made during Armenian Defence Minister
Seyran Ohanyan visit to Tbilisi on 12 November, Ayna said.
