FM calls Ukraine's sales of weapons to Armenia provocation
The Foreign Ministry of Ukraine called provocative the statements
about the Ukraine's sale of multiple launch rocket systems and
portable anti-aircraft missile systems to Armenia in 2011.
"The materials on this subject, covered by some Internet media, are of
unknown and provocative origin," the FM spokesman Oleksandr Dikusarov
told a briefing on Tuesday, commenting on the information about
alleged Ukraine's sales of weapons to Armenia.
He assured that Ukraine strictly observes its international
commitments to the UN, the OSCE and operates under the national
legislation.
In addition, according to the diplomat, in the context of the
Ukraine's future OSCE presidency, official Kyiv has made and will make
every effort to strengthen security and stability in the region.
As reported, the Ukrainian Embassy in Azerbaijan denied some media
reports about the Ukraine's sale of multiple launch rocket systems and
portable anti-aircraft missile systems to Armenia in 2011.
"In connection with the appearance in the Azerbaijani media of the
information about the alleged Ukrainian hidden supplies of weapons to
Armenia, the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Azerbaijan
considers necessary to state that the source cited by the specified
media, namely, a copy of the letter of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine
addressed the head of the Ukrainian state, posted on August 8, 2012 on
one of the Ukrainian sites, is a provocative forgery," the embassy
statement says.
"According to the embassy, the purpose of this provocation is
inflicting harm to the traditionally friendly Ukrainian-Azerbaijani
relations, the strategic nature of which for Ukraine's foreign policy
remains unchanged and priority," the statement stresses.
