ArmInfo. Belarus has been equally effectively cooperating with Armenia
and Azerbaijan, Belarus Ambassador to Armenia Stepan Sukhorenko told
ArmInfo correspondent.
'Today Belarus sells weapon to many countries. Actually, if we do not
deliver those not so big lots of weapon to Azerbaijan, it will buy it
from another deliverer. The point is that delivery of our weapon does
not break the limits of the international quota. Moreover, over the
last period of time Belarus has started developing the military and
technical cooperation with Armenia as well. We have good arrangements
in this sphere which may be fulfilled. I do not want to present the
details, but the effective cooperation between our countries in this
sphere has already become a fact', - he said.
He also added today Minsk has been effectively cooperating with Armenia
as well as Azerbaijan despite the conflict between the two states.
'As for the rumours about delivery of the S-300 air defence systems,
I think they are backstage rumours and nothing more. Today we ensure
guarding of the western gates of Russia and Belarus. We do not produce
these defence systems, and if to sell, we should simply take them
from the military duty breaking our air defence system. But we have
nothing odd, and it is simply impossible', - he said.
'We also see, despite Moscow's suggestion to set up Global Security
System in Europe, unfortunately it has not yet come true. Kyrgyzia's
sample has shown once again how unstable the world is. For this reason,
we welcome creation of the CSTO Rapid Deployment Force which will
jointly react at extraordinary situations. Belarus has been always
supporting the CSTO development, and I am confident our chairmanship,
which will be adopted in December, will be filled with content like
over the chairmanship of Armenia. For this reason, we are rather
optimistic regarding t5he CSTO and think its activity is very much
useful', - the ambassador concluded.
