Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. Moldovan Ambassador to Azerbaijan
Igor Bodyu denied the reports spread by Moldovan mass media that his
country would continue selling weapon to Armenia.
The ambassador told APA that he communicated with his country's
officials and the information was completely denied: "First of all,
these reports were spread by Moldova's pro-opposition media. The
question is not about Armenia. Now Armenia is not in the list of
countries that have arms deal with Moldova".
Despite the scandal, Moldovan leadership is going to deliver the
rest of the arms to the client from Armenia, Moldova's Defense
Minister Vitaly Marinutsa told journalists about it, APA reports
quoting Moldnews.
At the meeting of the parliament's commission on national security,
defense and public order, he called on the parliamentarians to cite
to the facts and legal documents, not to the media reports.
Minister said Moldova will fulfill the arms deals till the end.
"There is no legal document banning it. I hope the deal will be
fulfilled in the short run. The deal does not contain a doubtful point,
we must complete it," he said.
Earlier, President of Moldova Marian Lupu had dismissed Chief of the
General Staff of the National Army of Moldova, General Jurie Dominic.
The relevant order was said to have been signed to prevent the
further violation of the military legislation, but according to
local newspapers, the reason of General Dominic's dismissal was a
disclosure of secret arms deal with Armenia. The dismissal resulted in
a big scandal. Moldova's ruling circles are afraid that this scandal
may impede Moldova-Azerbaijan cooperation and cooperation within
the framework of GUAM. The question is reportedly the artillery and
antitank systems. The freight plane loaded with the arms left Chisinau
for Yerevan on September 13. The scandal caused discord between the
Cabinet of Ministers and Defense Ministry of Moldova. The issue is
being investigated.
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said that the countries
selling offensive weapon to Armenia make a great mistake.
