ARMENIA ACCUSES MINSK OF ARMS SUPPLIES TO AZERBAIJAN
Charter 97, Belarus
March 6 2013
Belarus is among the biggest suppliers of weapons to the country that
threatens to start a war with Yerevan.
A report by the Centre for Analysis of World Arms Trade shows the
arms deals Baku was involved in for the last 10 years. The data are
really impressive, Armenian Zhamanak writes.
Among the countries that supply weapons to Baku are not only Turkey,
Israel and Ukraine (GUAM member states), but also Belarus and Russia.
Though being Armenia's allies in the CSTO, these countries are main
military partners of Armenia's enemy.
The situation is unique: member states of the military and political
bloc supply weapons to the state that still has an unsettled conflict
with their partner, threatens a war and commits acts of sabotage. It
has been happening for many years. In fact, Armenia's CSTO partners
have been equipping Armenia's enemy with arms for many years and
only some people in Armenia raise this question. The country has only
recently said officially that the CSTO members should not make steps
that go against Armenia's interests.
Serzh Sargsyan said it in December at the CSTO summit in Moscow. It
should be noted that almost no reactions followed the statement in
Armenia. No attempts were made to see the state's interests behind
this statement and form the public opinion so that our so called
allies stop selling arms to our enemy.
It's not important why Serzh Sargsyan raised this question in Moscow.
It is important because it is based on the interests of the state,
so the problem should have been confirmed by the public opinion.
But we still hear only a deathly silence, like during the past ten
years. We see only attempts to find excuses for Belarus and Russia
that underline the disgraceful behaviour of these so called allies
and Armenia's civil and political community.
Instead of taking measures, some leaders are ready not only to defend
Belarus and Russia, but also to be proud of their friendship with
Lukashenka, open plants with him or boast being Russia's number
1 purveyors.
Royal courts of Russia and Belarus are number 1 military supplies of
the country that threatens a war with Armenia, but Armenia continues to
send goods to the courts and has no courage to send them letters from
time time to show that Armenia is a state, not just a production shop.
