Baku, Fineko/abc.az. International Conference "Building relationships
across borders" of the Parliamentary Assemblies of GUAM and the Baltic
states is taking place in Baku.
Addressing to the conference, second secretary of the Azerbaijani
Foreign Affairs Ministry's Security Problems Department Elchin
Huseynli, has said that Latvian company Latspeceksports has been
involved in sales of weapons to Armenia.
"I call to investigate the fact of involvement of this Latvian company
to sales of weapons to Armenia. Weaponry acquired by Azerbaijan
is intended to protect energy infrastructure. Armenia groundlessly
accuses Azerbaijan of violation of the regional balance of weapons.
Analysis of public budgets of Azerbaijan and Armenia shows the
direction of military spending in this country. So, Armenia acquired
16,000 in 2010 and 78,000 Kalashnikov rifles in 2009. Why does Armenia
need so many weapons? This shows Armenia's readiness not for peace
but for war," Huseynli claimed.
As a result of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno Garabagh conflict,
Armenia has occupied 20% of Azerbaijani territory.
