/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan keeps insisting that Russia supplies
Armenia with arms, Nezavisimaya Gazeta reports.

The investigation carried out gives reason to suppose that the
information is true, says the statement issued Wednesday by the Azeri
Foreign Ministry.

The statement says that the incident helps "occupation of the
Azerbaijani territory." "Full responsibility for the consequences of
this action rests on Russia."

Baku’s accusation campaign started after publication of some media
reports about delivery of Russian armament to the amount of $800
million to Armenia.

Although, Defense Ministries of Armenia and Azerbaijan refuted the
fact, Azerbaijan still insists on further investigation.

Ali Hasanov, head of the political department at the Azeri President’s
administration said this incident will damage Russia’s image and
warned to henceforth eye Russia as unreliable partner.

The Russian Foreign Ministry yesterday once again denied delivery of
armament to Armenia and stated that "the issue is settled."
