Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijan expects from Russia an official answer
to the note on possible supplies of Russian weapons to Armenia.
Foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov says that after his telephone
conversation with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov Azerbaijan
is awaiting an official answer to its note.
"Possible the answer will be received this or next week. The
Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan, Vasily Istratov, confirmed that
the answer was being prepared and will be sent in the near future,"
the Azerbaijani FM said.
Azerbaijani sources say that Russia allegedly transferred to Armenia
weapons worth $800 million from its military base in Gumri.
The Russian party denies the fact of such supplies.
