Russia to continue arms supplies to Azerbaijan under contracts

Russia will continue delivering weapons to Azerbaijan as its strategic partner under existing contracts, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Friday, TASS.

The Russian vice-premier thus commented on a journalists’ request to comment on a statement by the Armenian President that Russia had supplied a large amount of weapons to Azerbaijan and specify if Russia planned to continue these deliveries.

“Everything is done in compliance with the contracts. Both countries [Armenia and Azerbaijan] are our strategic partners,” Rogozin said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
