    MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON DENIES ARMS PURCHASE FROM MOLDOVA

    Spokesperson for Armenia's Defense Ministry has dismissed a report
    that Armenia bought hardware from Moldova that is not fit for use.

    "The acquisition and purchase of arms and military equipment for the
    needs of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia is implemented
    within RA's legislation and international norms and obligations,"
    said Davit Karapetyan.

    It comes after Moldovan news agency OMEGA reported that Armenia
    acquired 60 tones of armament from Moldova under a fake Latvian
    company last week.

    "Based on the interests of national security details related to
    the scale, the types and the seller of the arms is not subject for
    publication," Davit Karapetyan added.

    "I can only say that since its independence, the Republic of Armenia
    has never bought arms that are unfit for use," Karapetyan added.
