YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan is in violation of the Treaty on Conventional
Armed Forces in Europe (CFE).
Armenia MFA Arms Control and International Security Department Head
Samvel Lazarian noted the aforesaid at a press conference on Thursday.
Lazarian added that Russia is one of Azerbaijan's main suppliers
of arms, and stated that as of 2007, Russia has suspended the
implementation of the CFE.
"Sadly, the treaty does not envision legal mechanisms for the countries
that violate it. Everything is expressed in the form of political
statements," the MFA official stated.
In Lazarian's words, even though Armenia informs about the CFE
violations by Azerbaijan, the real steps that Armenia can take are
ensuring its own security.
"The treaty, which was signed in the early 1990s, is out of date. It
functions yet no longer reflects the real situation. [We] need a new
treaty that meets the present-day demands. Moreover, the new document
shall envision penalties for violations," Samvel Lazarian maintained.
