    Document alleging Russia's weapons supplies to Armenia fake - Lavrov

    BAKU March 12


    A document circulated by the media as if to confirm that Russia had
    sold weapons to Armenia is a forgery, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
    Lavrov said.

    "As regards the fuss that has been stirred around this document, which
    has been circulated in both Azeri and Russian media outlets, it is a
    fake. It actually does not meet any criteria set for such kind of
    documents," Lavrov said at a press conference in Baku on Thursday.

    The document contains such grammar mistakes that it puzzles one as to
    where it was written, Lavrov said.

    "Russia maintains military-technological cooperation with many
    countries without violating any international obligations, without
    violating its own laws, and without allowing any destabilizing
    supplies to any region. It is on these very principles that we
    cooperate in the military-technological sphere," Lavrov said.
