Russian MFA lies denying armament delivery to Armenia, Baku insists

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan keeps insisting that Russia supplies Armenia with arms, Nezavisimaya Gazeta reports.



The investigation carried out gives reason to suppose that the information is true, says the statement issued Wednesday by the Azeri Foreign Ministry.



The statement says that the incident helps "occupation of the Azerbaijani territory." "Full responsibility for the consequences of this action rests on Russia."



Baku's accusation campaign started after publication of some media reports about delivery of Russian armament to the amount of $800 million to Armenia.



Although, Defense Ministries of Armenia and Azerbaijan refuted the fact, Azerbaijan still insists on further investigation.



Ali Hasanov, head of the political department at the Azeri President's administration said this incident will damage Russia's image and warned to henceforth eye Russia as unreliable partner.



The Russian Foreign Ministry yesterday once again denied delivery of armament to Armenia and stated that "the issue is settled."
