ArmInfo.The issue of sale of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan is one of the most complicated relations in the agenda between Moscow and Yerevan. This was stated at a press conference by the deputy chairman of the ruling Republican Party, head of the parliamentary commission on foreign affairs Armen Ashotyan.
He stressed that this issue requires a solution, but it is not subject to public debate. “This issue should receive its decision, as the Russian side substantiates that Moscow, while selling weapons to Azerbaijan, Moscow solves certain economic and strategic tasks, is not convincing,” Ashotyan summed up. Earlier, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also referred to the topic, saying that Russia’s sale of arms to Azerbaijan is the most painful aspect of the Armenian-Russian friendship, Armenian-Russian military cooperation, and bilateral relations in general.
