‘NATO PA MAY DISCUSS RUSSIA`s WEAPON SUPPLY TO ARMENIA’
Baku, February 12, (AZERTAC). NATO Parliamentary Assembly (PA) may discuss Russia`s USD 800 million worth arms and ammunition supply to the Armenian armed forces, said Ziyafat Asgarov, first vice Speaker of Azerbaijan`s Parliament and head of the country` s delegation to NATO PA.
Asgarov said the parliament decided to send a group of MPs to the Russian Duma to discuss the issue.
He pointed out Russia violated its commitment not to provide arms to conflicting sides until the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute finds its solution. Asgarov also recalled Russia`s supplying arms and ammunition to Armenia in a $1 billion-deal in
1996, adding “This is why, Russia`s $800 million worth arms and ammunition supply to Armenia seems convincing”.
“The problem concerns official Baku. Playing the role of a mediator in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and, at the same time, arming one of the conflicting sides is beyond logic and contradicts international legal principles”, Asgarov underscored.
