Lavrov: Russia didn't transfer arms to Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia has never sold arms or ammunition to Armenia from the Gumri Base No. 102, as Azerbaijani media reported on Jan. 8, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.



"I do not think there is a need for an additional investigation because all the statements made by Russia via diplomatic channels are based on facts and leave no doubt about the decision made by our military leadership," he said.



"We understand Azerbaijan's careful approach towards the issue given the difficult relations between Baku and Yerevan. At the same time, we are convinced that Russia and Azerbaijan have enough reserves of mutual confidence to prevent such falsifications from hindering us from expanding our strategic partnership," Minister Lavrov said.
