Violation of timeframes envisages sanctions – MP on Russia delaying arms supplies to Armenia

 12:38,

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, ARMENPRESS. Armenia has paid Russia for new weapons and is still waiting for the supplies, Member of Parliament Andranik Kocharyan told reporters when asked what happened to the weaponry worth 400,000,000 dollars ordered from Russia.

“We’ve given those millions to have weapons, and we are now waiting for the weapons. I believe that any contract envisages timeframes, and sanctions in the event of violating these timeframes,” Kocharyan, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Security Affairs told reporters.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan had earlier said that Armenia paid hundreds of million of dollars to one of its allies for new weapons, but the supplies never took place. Pashinyan did not explicitly name Russia in his comments.

“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
