One more fact, which proves the military cooperation between Ukraine
and Armenia, has been identified.
The fact is that the relevant organizations of both countries signed
an arms sale agreement. The agreement dated back to August 26, 2011
was signed between the affiliate of the Ukraine's State Company
UkrSpetsExport - UkrInMash State Trade and Investment Firm and
Armenia's DG Arms Corporation.
UkrInMash's Deputy Director Oleg Kostenko and DG Arms Corporation
Chairman of Board Davit Galstyan signed the agreement.
According to the agreement, DG Arms Corporation bought $298 000
cartridges and ammunition belts from UkrInMash.
Armenian company had to sell these ammunitions to the United Arab
Emirates. According to the agreement, the seller - UkrInMash had to
deliver shipment to Tirana airport, Albania and then give it to the
buyer.
The final consumer was the UAE armed forces.
Recently there have been reports about the Ukraine-Armenia secret arms
deal. 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.
The arms deals and military cooperation between Ukraine and Armenia
have been intensified after Victor Yanukovich's coming to power.
Ukraine introduces itself as a strategic partner of Azerbaijan, but
Ukraine's military cooperation with Armenia, which occupies the
Azerbaijani lands, causes concern and questions.
