YEREVAN. – The Armenian side repeatedly expressed its opinion on Russia's arms sales to Azerbaijan, deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament said.

Eduard Sharmazanov said discontent was expressed even during meetings with Russian colleagues.

“My opinion has not changed. Azerbaijan is not a state to which one can sell arms. It can be sold to those who defend,” said the deputy speaker.

At the same time, Sharmazanov believes, this should not hinder the deepening of political and military-political cooperation between Armenia and Russia.

“Armenia and Russia are implementing the provisions envisaged by the agreement. Relations between Armenia and Russia should not be conditioned by this,” he added.

“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
