Il-76 plane - one that took place on September 12 and the other on
the following day.
According to the Moldovan Defense Ministry, the shipment consisted
of artillery and anti-tank systems.

was acquired by Latvia and according to the invoice of the recipient,
the shipment is to go to Armenia," Moldova's Minister of Economy
Valery Lazer was quoted as saying.
The news agency also said that Armenia's civil aviation has dismissed
the report.
