/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Official Baku will continue investigation of
"delivery of Russian weapons to Armenia," said a spokesman for the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
"There was a similar incident in 1996. The Foreign Ministry will study
any information and facts regarding to the issue," Elhan Polukhov
said, Novosti Azerbaijan reports.
Baku’s accusation campaign started after publication of some media
reports about delivery of Russian armament to the amount of $800
million to Armenia. Some two weeks ago, Azeri ANS TV quoted Russian
Defense Ministry’s spokesman Alexander Petrunin as saying that "Russia
delivered military hardware to Armenia in the framework of a
transnational agreement."
The Russian Foreign Ministry refuted the information. "Such untrue
anti-Russian publications undermine friendly relations between the
Russian Federation and Azerbaijan," it said in a note sent to the
Azeri MFA.
