region"

The document, containing information about the alleged supply of arms
to Armenia by Russia in 2008 is falsified, said Russian FM Sergey
Lavrov during a joint briefing with Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mamedyarov by
results of a bilateral meeting held between them Thursday.

"Russia maintains military and technical cooperation with most
countries not violating any international commitments, its own
legislation and not allowing any destabilizing supplies in any
region", said the Russian FM.

He said on these very principles Moscow is cooperating both with
Azerbaijan and Armenia and no one makes a secret out of it.

"As for the rush around a certain document, which appealed in the
Azerbaijani and Russian mass medias, this document, as proven
repeatedly, is false. It does not meet any criteria of such documents
and contains absolutely groundless information and fixes such grammar
mistakes that cause doubt about where this document was written",
noted Lavrov.

Information about delivery of Russian military hardware to Armenia in
2008 was also discussed today at the meeting of the Azerbaijani and
Russian FMs.

"We were informed that in 2008 Russia did not supply any military
hardware to Armenia. In turn, we noted that we will continue the deep
investigation of this issue", said Mamedyarov.

“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
