When after August events a part of the Russian military hardware,
withdrawn from Georgia, was transported to Armenia via Azerbaijan,
Moscow assured Baku that it is not intended for Armenia, said political
scientist Rasim Musabeyov, according to Novosti-Azerbaijan.
"Moscow has openly assured Azerbaijan of that and the delivery of
Russian arms to Armenia today contradicts to the said promises",
noted he commenting on supply of Armenia with military hardware in
the amount of $800,000,000.
According to Rasim Musabeyov, there is nothing unusual in it as earlier
"Moscow had supplied Yerevan with military hardware of a total of
$1 bln".
"Russia and Armenia are direct military allies and Azerbaijan knew
it when it agreed for the mediation of Moscow in the resolution of
the Karabakh conflict. But at the same time, we must tell Russia
that we consider such actions contradicting to the mediation mission
and this will inevitably have its negative influence", noted the
political scientist.
It should be noted that local mass media report that Armenian side
received arms in the amount of $800,000,000 from the dislocated
Russian military base No 102 in Gumri.
Notably, in 1996 Russia supplied Armenia with arms in the amount of
$1 bln. Though the government of this country has long been refuting
it, later it was obliged to confirm the fact. But Russia did not stop
supplying Armenia after 1995, from time to time delivering some types
of weapon to the Armenian army.
