/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Azerbaijani media reports on delivery of military
hardware to Armenia were studied and turned out to be untrue, Russia’s
Foreign Minister said.

"We have carried out an investigation. The man whose last name is
mentioned in Azeri reports has never signed any documents," Sergei
Lavrov said when commenting on recent publication of a list of military
hardware allegedly delivered to Armenia by Russia.

"We requested our Azeri counterpart to provide us with a copy of this
document for an expertise," he added.

At the same time, Mr. Lavrov emphasized that Russia implements military
cooperation programs both with Armenia and Azerbaijan. "At that,
Armenia, as a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization,
enjoys preferential terms, and Azerbaijan is well aware of this fact,"
the Minister said, RIA Novosti reports.
