ArmInfo-RBK. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has disproved the
information according to which last year Russia delivered military
equipment and armament to Armenia. "We have drawn attention at
publication of a document in Azerbaijani mass media, which enumerates
a big number of military equipment and stores allegedly delivered to
Armenia recently. I had a talk on the topic to Azerbaijan's ambassador,
and our ambassador to Baku had a talk to Azerbaijani foreign minister.
Today I am going to phone my Azerbaijani counterpart. Together with
General Headquarters we have investigated the situation. The man whose
name is mentioned in Azerbaijani mass media did not sign any document,
and no weapon was delivered to Armenia last year. According to our
investigation, such a document does not exist', - Russian foreign
minister said at the press-conference in Moscow. He also added that
Russia has never hidden the fact that it has a programme of the
military and technical cooperation with Armenia as well as with
Azerbaijan, and these programmes are not secret.
