In the framework of Putin's visit to Azerbaijan, the parties
coordinated many issues in military sphere; in particular, issues of a
rather large-scaled cooperation between Azerbaijan and Russia during
the 22 years of independence, the Russian military source reported
this to "Doctrine", the Military Journalistic Investigation Center,
says Azerbaijani news agency "Salamnews".
According to MJIC "Doctrine" information Azerbaijan is committed to
purchase weapons and military equipment from Russia by $ 4 billion
during the next 2-3 years.
"Representatives of Rosoboronexport will participate in the operation
of defense industry facilities in Azerbaijan. Military-industrial
companies of Russia will take part in the repair process of military
equipment and weapons of Azerbaijani Armed Forces. Azerbaijan will
suspend cooperation with the U.S. and NATO to ensure energy security.
Azerbaijani-Russian dialogue will be re-established in order to ensure
the Caspian safety. Annually 100 people will be sent to Russia by the
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry to study at Russian military educational
institutions," Salamnews reports.
According to Russian media reports, Azerbaijan had previously
purchased from Russia 100 units of infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3,
18 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) "Tornado", 94 units of T-90S
tanks, 6 pieces of heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A "Sun"(a new
version of "Buratino"), 18 units of self-propelled artillery guns
"Vienna", 18 units of self-propelled artillery "MSTA-S". According to
the Russian Internet sites, in accordance with applicable between
Russia and Azerbaijan agreement, the Azerbaijani side can get a new
batch of T-90S tanks. Russia insists that this is just a business
transaction which absolutely will not upset the balance of power in
the region. Meanwhile, the experts note that such deals, however,
affect the regional processes.
