YEREVAN. – The Armenian side repeatedly expressed its opinion on Russia's arms sales to Azerbaijan, deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament said.

Eduard Sharmazanov said discontent was expressed even during meetings with Russian colleagues.

“My opinion has not changed. Azerbaijan is not a state to which one can sell arms. It can be sold to those who defend,” said the deputy speaker.

At the same time, Sharmazanov believes, this should not hinder the deepening of political and military-political cooperation between Armenia and Russia.

“Armenia and Russia are implementing the provisions envisaged by the agreement. Relations between Armenia and Russia should not be conditioned by this,” he added.
