    YEREVAN. - Latvian Latspeceksports Company may be involved in the
    sale of offensive weapons and missile complexes to Armenia, which
    were purchased in Moldova, chas-daily.com reports. The copy of the
    agreement on arms states Moldavian MOD and Latvian company as sides.

    The Latvian company purchased the weapons and sold them to Armenia,
    Azerbaijani diplomats said angrily to Latvian MFA. Currently the case
    is run by the security police.

    The case was brought forwards several months ago due to the fact
    that the jet, on which the weapons were transported, was intended for
    Libya. Thus, Latvian company was blamed for the supply of Moldavian
    arms to the civil war participants in Libya. However, it was later
    revealed that the jet was only transporting weapons to Armenia,
    Neka Person reports.

    It was officially stated that Armenia purchased old and useless for
    direct operational use weapons of Moldavian army. However, the weapons
    turned to be quite modern. Besides, the weapons were purchased quite
    cheaper. The real price was $8 million, while the agreement mentioned
    only $3 million. Supposedly the rest of money was given as bribe to
    the Moldavian military officials.

    It s noteworthy, that Latvian company had no permission by Latvian
    MFA to purchase arms.
