Yerevan, Armenia – The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied media
reports claiming that it has bought Ukrainian multiple rocket
launchers and mobile surface-to-air missile systems.

“Azerbaijan is again spreading misinformation,” Armenian Defense
Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan told Interfax.

Armenia has been publishing reports about its military purchases in
compliance with international conventions, he said.

Azeri media earlier circulated reports saying that Ukrainian weapons
were covertly delivered to Armenia in 2011. These claims have been
denied by the Ukrainian Embassy in Azerbaijan.
