    One more fact proving Ukraine's secret arms deal with Armenia
    identified - CONTRACT


    16:38 23-08-2012

    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.
