RUSSIAN ARMS DEAL FOR AZERBAIJAN
The Messenger, Georgia
June 27 2013
Russia’s Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said on July 25
that Armenia and Russia are strategic partners and there are enough
forces to protect Armenia’s security. It looks like the statement was
made by the Russian official to counterbalance the possible results
of the arms deal between Russia and Azerbaijan. According to the
special agreement between the two countries, Russia should provide
Azerbaijan with a large amount of weapons and military equipment,
the total value of the deal which includes ammunition as well, would
probably come to $1 billion.
