/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On initiative of the Russian side, RF Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov had a phone conversation with his Azerbaijani
counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov to discuss the alleged delivery of
Russian armament to Armenia.
Mr. Lavrov informed that the Russian Foreign Ministry jointly with the
General Staff have studied the issue and officially concluded that no
armament was supplied to Armenia.
The sides agreed to continue consultations for complete clarification
of the issue, 1news.az reports.

spokesman Alexander Petrunin as saying that "Russia delivered military
hardware to the amount of $800 million to Armenia in the framework of
a transnational agreement."
