YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS : A top Armenian army officer has
brushed aside today Azerbaijani accusations that Armenia is violating
the terms of the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty.
Chief of staff of Armenia’s armed forces, Mikael Harutunian, told
reporters that before trying to accuse Armenia Azerbaijan should
itself observe the terms of the Treaty. He said Azerbaijan has 500
tanks, almost twice as many as it is allowed by the Treaty, also 700
artillery systems instead of 280 and 500 war cars instead of 220.
Mikael Harutunian said numerous inspections in the Armenian armed
forces revealed no violation of the limits. He said Armenia observes
strictly all its commitments stemming from the Conventional Forces
in Europe Treaty.
