Moldova insists that a plane carrying 60 tons of weapons belongs
to Armenia. OMEGA reported that an Il-76 from Libya landed at the
airport of Kishinev on September 12. It then headed to the airfield
of Merkuleshty to pick up cargo from a Latvian company registered
in Riga. 60 tons of weapons were sold in September. Two Libyan
planes transported weapons on September 13 and 14. The head of the
press-service of the Moldovan Defense Ministry, Alexander Zhosan,
said that the cargo consisted of artillery and anti-missile systems.
Vice-Premier and Minister of the Economy Valery Lazer said that the
Armenian air authorities denied the arguments. The press secretary
of the Armenian Administration of Civil Aviation said that the
Libya-Moldova flight with weapons never happened.
The plane flew from Benghazi to Kishinev three days after Prime
Minister Vladimir Filat's visit to Germany for a visit with President
of Trans-Dniester Igor Smirnov.
