    Baku concerned about alleged supply of Russian arms to Armenia

    BAKU Jan 15


    The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry commented on the Russian alleged
    transfer of $800 million worth of armaments to Armenia on Thursday.

    "Reports make us think that the armaments have really been supplied,"
    the ministry said. "The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry is profoundly
    concerned about this fact."

    "The supplied armaments will considerably enlarge the military
    potential of the country, which has occupied some of Azerbaijani
    lands, and help continue and intensify this occupation," the ministry
    said.

    The transfer of Russian armaments to Armenia is a direct violation of
    UN Security Council resolutions concerning the Azerbaijani-Armenian
    conflict and UN General Assembly on situation on the occupied
    Azerbaijani lands of March 14, 2008.

    Meanwhile, acting spokesman of the Russian Defense Ministry Col.

    Alexander Drobyshevsky denied reports claiming the arms supplies to
    Armenia on Wednesday.

    'There were no supplies of Russian armaments to Armenia," he told
    Interfax-AVN.
