PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia didn't deliver weapons to Libya, a source,
who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
"Perhaps, a minor incident occurred. For this reason, Armenia is
mentioned in the list of international experts," the source told
PanARMENIAN.Net
In a report to the UN Security Council circulated Tuesday, on April 9
UN the panel said cases of illicit transfers from Libya in violation
of a U.N. arms embargo that have been proven and are still under
investigation involve more than 12 countries and include heavy and
light weapons such as portable air defense systems, explosives, mines,
and small arms and ammunition.
The five-member expert panel made 28 visits to 15 countries in Africa,
Europe and the Middle East including 10 visits to Libya. The 94-page
report details arms trafficking cases that violate the embargo imposed
after the 2011 uprising began as well as efforts to track down the
financial assets of individuals and companies linked to Gadhafi and
his regime that are on the U.N. blacklist.
The panel said it also examined evidence of the delivery of weapons
and ammunition from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to support
the anti-Gadhafi revolutionaries during the uprising and considers
that both countries violated the U.N. arms embargo, despite Qatar's
denial that it transferred any military materiel.
It cited a case of the transfer of ammunition to Libya involving the
United Arab Emirates, Armenia, Albania and Ukraine, a separate case
involving Sudan, and the reported transfer of a drone to the Libyan
opposition by a Canadian company which Canadian authorities say is
under investigation, Associated Press reported.
