The balance of armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan was broken far
long ago, as unlike Armenia Azerbaijan is injecting huge sums into
its military sector, MP Vardanyan told a press conference today,
as he referred to an alleged deal recently much-spoken-about.
If completed it will see Russia sell C-300 anti-missile defense
systems to Azerbaijan.
According to Mr Khachatryan that system will replenish Azerbaijan's
defense capabilities. But still it is not a big advantage.
At the same time he mentioned that it is difficult to say what effects
it can have as far as the deal is not confirmed.
Besides Mr Khachatryan noted that he does not think that by selling
C-300s to Azerbaijan Russia is arming the aggressor as Armenia also
has such systems in its arsenal.
"I do not think it is encouragement of the aggressor [country],"
said he, adding it is inadmissible to consider Moscow as traitor
simply for selling those weapons to Baku because if Armenians treat
Russia as traitor they must much in the same treat also Israel or US
traitor too as they sell weapons to Azerbaijan as well.
"I do not think that this criticism is a way leading to anywhere,"
he noted, adding that Russia's opinion over the issue should also
be heard.
