Armenia has deployed Japanmade military hardware in NagornoKarabakh,
acquiring it through a third side, spokesman for Azerbaijan's Foreign
Ministry Hikmet Hajiyev told APA.
Hikmet Hajiyev commented on the spread of reports and images of the
Armenian Armed Forces, deployed in Azerbaijan's occupied territories,
using heavy military hardware made by Japan's Hino Company, noting
that Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry has investigated the matter.
Under the Foreign Ministry's instructions, the Azerbaijani embassy in
Japan held a meeting at the Japanese Foreign Ministry to investigate
the issue. The ministry said Japan does not export weapons and
ammunition to conflicting states according to its constitution and
legislation. Therefore, the Japanese side denied selling any weapons
and ammunition or heavy military hardware to the Republic of Armenia.
The Azerbaijani embassy in Japan even contacted Hino Company over the
matter. The company too confirmed that it hasn't sold any military
vehicle or product to Armenia," the MFA spokesman said.
According to Hikmet Hajiyev, the possibility of Armenia obtaining
these vehicles through a third side can not be ruled out, either.
"It seems the Armenian side has again lied, providing false data on
the enduser information, which is required for the import of military
products. So sides exporting this kind of products need to pay much
attention to "enduser certificates" which have to be required during
such export processes, complying with the regime for control on the
export of military products".
