    MOLDOVAN DEFENSE MINISTER CALLS SALE OF MILITARY HARDWARE, ARMS TO ARMENIA LEGAL

    Moldovan Defense Minister Vitalie Marinuta has once again called
    the sale of weapons to Armenia through mediators in 2011 legal and
    legitimate.

    "Such transactions have been carried out more than once, and their
    purpose is to replenish the national budget. All circumstances of
    the deal and documents have been examined by Prosecutor General's
    Office specialists, and the materials are to be passed to a special
    parliamentary commission," Marinuta told journalists on Tuesday.

    It was reported earlier that a plane rented by a Latvian firm was
    loaded with military gear and weapons that earlier belonged to the
    Moldovan National Army at the Marculesti airfield in the fall of 2011.

    Reports said there were about 60 tonnes of cargo on board the plane.

    The service life of all this hardware had either expired or was about
    to expire. The cargo was intended for Armenia, which has been in a
    military conflict with Azerbaijan for years. The value of the deal is
    still unknown. The parliament has set up an investigative commission
    to probe the deal.
