Baku - APA. Ukraine has a secret arms deal with Armenia on selling
rocket launching systems.
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense
Ministry, Major-General Sergei Gmyza sent a letter to President of
Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych explaining the ways of arms supplies to
Armenia under a contract between Ukrspetsexport and DG Arms
Corporation (the mediator of Armenian Defense Ministry).
The letter offers to use front companies registered in EU and CIS for
supplies. According to the letter, Main Intelligence Directorate of
the Ukrainian Defense Ministry received information about the contract
between the Ukrspetsexport and DG Arms Corporation (the mediator of
Armenian Defense Ministry) to supply 12 units of Smerch multiple
rocket launching systems and their components, 50 Igla MANPADS, as
well as the fact that Armenia has already paid 50 percent of contract
value.
Gmyza said that not wanting to jeopardize the military-technical and
energy cooperation between Azerbaijan and Ukraine, Ukrspetsexport is
invited to "publicly renounce the fact of an agreement with the
Armenian side." At the same time the Armenian company is offered to
simulate the appeal to arbitration, "the spread among its environment
of sharply negative attitude to the leadership of Ukrspetsexport and
the Ukrainian side, as an unreliable supplier."
At the same time head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the
Ukrainian Defense Ministry proposed to carry out the delivery of
Smerch sets in a conspiracy from the territory of Moldova, "using
front companies registered in the EU or the CIS."
Marking on the products this should be changed, and in the case of
disclosure of fraud to conceal origin of Igla MANPADS by warehouses in
Libya, looted by rebels of the liberation movement.
Deputy Director of the Press and Public Relations Department of the
Ukraine's Defense Ministry Valery Korol refused to comment the issue
to APA.
