"I can not say for sure that the free supply of Russian military
hardware of a total of $800,000,000 to Armenia really occurred. But we
know well that earlier there have been facts of free supply of arms to
Armenia by Russia. This allows us to suspect that Russia really made
this step", said political scientist Hikmet Hajizade regarding the
statement of the Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasili Istratov that
the document spread in mass media about the alleged supplies of Russian
military hardware to Armenia is disinformation and falsification.
He saud the recent statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which
says that Russia has officially not transferred arms in the said
amount raises distrust to the version of the Russian side.
"A reasonable question arises that perhaps this military hardware
was unofficially supplied to Armenia", asks Hajizade. In any case,
in order to clarify this issue, we need to reveal the primary source
of information about the free supply of military hardware. "Only then
we will be able to clarify this issue", said Hajizade.
