NKR VICE-PRIME MINISTER: WEAPON SALE TO AZERBAIJAN IS A TREACHEROUS DEAL
NKR vice-prime minister Artur Aghabekyan dwelt on the Russian sale
of weapons to Azerbaijan in an interview to Panorama.am.
Mr. Aghabekyan, on the one hand you are trying to solve the
repopulation issue of NKR regions and ensure demographic growth,
on the other the Russian-Azerbaijani military deal creates a new
situation in the region. Is the behavior of the Armenian authorities
adequate to these events?
I have a clear position in this relation. The weapons sold by Russia
to Azerbaijan are against peace population. This is a very serious
issue for us and this treacherous deal of our strategic partner
should have become the number one topic of discussion. All political
figures and analysts should have given their assessment of this deal,
but they are passive.
Does the arms race break the balance of sides? Do Armenians have a
reason to worry after the sale of Smerch to Azerbaijan?
The Republic of Armenia can't allow misbalance in the region giving new
possibilities of arming to the enemy. I shall officially announce that
the sale of Smerch didn't break the balance of parties, but it makes
us allot more resources to the construction of our defense complexes.
