The information on sale of 24 Mi-35M attack helicopters to Azerbaijan
is yet to be verified, a military source in Russia told PanARMENIAN.Net

As he noted, similar information is often circulated in Azerbaijan to
undermine Armenian-Russian strategic partnership. “Any information
on arms supply, including publications, needs to be verified and
confirmed; supplies in question can cause violation of armament parity
in the region, which Russia does not need,” the source said.

A representative of Rostvertol Russian company, in turn, refused to
provide official comments about Russia -Azerbaijan deal on sale of
24 Mi-35M attack helicopters to Azerbaijan.

As news.az reported on February 24, in September-October 2010,
Rostvertol signed a deal to sell 24 Mi-35M attack helicopters to
Azerbaijan.
