Baku. Lachin Sultanova -APA. Russian foreign ministry gave an official
answer to the Azerbaijan’s note on Wednesday, APA reports quoting
the Russian ministry.
The answer was submitted to the Azerbaijani embassy’s counselor in
Moscow Bakhish Zeynalov. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia,
answering the note 5/10-080/04/09 of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of Azerbaijan dated on January 15, 2009, states that the Defense
Ministry of Russia didn’t give or sell arms and ammunitions to
Armenia, as it was showed in the "document", which caused negative
resonance in Azerbaijan. The printed material is a disinformation,
which has anti-Russian character, and doesn’t contribute to the
positive development of friendly relationship between Russia and
Azerbaijan. The Russian side considers that the issue raised in the
note on January 15, 2009 was ended and we would like to be assured that
in future the sides will not make hasty conclusions if such concerns
take place and will together resolve all doubts in the atmosphere of
strategic partnership between the Russian Federation and Azerbaijan".
The Russian foreign ministry hopes that Azerbaijani colleagues will
deliver its answering note to the mass media too.
