Israel no longer to supply weapons to Georgia

PanARMENIAN.Net - Israel will no longer supply weapons to Georgia. An informal agreement has been formalized between Tel Aviv and Moscow, under which Israel almost ceases its military cooperation with Georgia, and instead Russia will not sell Iran C-300 anti-aircraft missile launchers. This agreement was formalized at the time of Shimon Peres' visit to Moscow, the Georgian Resonance newspaper writes.



According to the newspaper, Israel is one of the largest suppliers of weapons to Georgia. "Since 2000 Georgia has purchased from Israel weapons of $ 200 million worth. According to the Georgian experts, termination of military cooperation with Israel will be a major blow to Georgia. This will have a negative impact on the whole process of modernization of the Georgian army, especially when Russia openly encourages other countries to stop military cooperation with Georgia," the newspaper wrote.



If Israel refuses to supply weapons to Georgia, it will negative affect the whole modernization of the Georgian arms.

"We can buy tanks in Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic and even in Bulgaria. But Israel is supplying us with unmanned aircraft, which no one else would provide us," Resonance wrote.
