YEREVAN. - Armenia's opposition Free Democrats Party Vice-Chairwoman
Anush Sedrakyan condemns Russia's selling of arms to Azerbaijan.
Sedrakyan herself stated the aforesaid during a press conference
on Wednesday.
"It is the 'big brother,' it does what it wants. If Israel sells
weapons to Azerbaijan, we have no right to rebel because we have
not signed a CSTO [i.e., Collective Security Treaty Organization]
treaty with it," she noted.
Sedrakyan also stressed that Russia's selling of weaponry to Azerbaijan
is not a trade deal, but rather a political deal.
"It would have been a trade deal if they had sold oil, [natural] gas,
or sheep. Now, it is a political deal which runs counter to all our
agreements, good intentions," Sedrakyan concluded.
In his turn, ruling Republican Party MP Artak Davtyan said weaponry
is a product, too.
"If Russia is supplying weapons, this means Russia will have to provide
Azerbaijan consultations, services in connection with the use, [and]
spare parts of these weapons. [And] Azerbaijan will have commitments,
too. Why are we raising this uproar?" the ruling party MP asked.
