Boris Klimchuk Ukraine’s ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary
in Azerbaijan recommends Armenian journalists to stop advising
to Ukraine.
"I do not think someone in Ukraine is listening to the opinion
of Armenian journalists, regularly "advising" Kiev not to sell
arms to Azerbaijan, take "a neutral" or "just" position in the
Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict", said Boris Klimchuk at the news
conference in the International Novosti news center on Thursday.
He said Ukraine does not supply arms as a gift, it sells them in the
quantities defined by international conventions.
"We will further sell arms within the framework of international law,
adhering to interstate military and technical cooperation between
Azerbaijan and Ukraine", the ambassador said.
"We are very sensitive in this issue. Modern technology does not
allow keeping secrets for more than five minutes", Klimchuk said.
He reiterated Ukraine’s respect to the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan saying Nagorno Karabakh is an inseparable part of our
country.
