Baku. Victoria Dementieva – APA. US Chargé d’Affaires in Azerbaijan
Adam Sterling said Armenian media circulated information that the
alleged U.S. government imposed a ban on the sale of American arms to
Azerbaijan, APA reports.
Adam Sterling told journalists that American companies that sell
defense equipment to other states must obtain license from the State
Department and submit a list of countries to which they are engaged in
the sale.
“One American private company, referring to the State Department
withdrew Azerbaijan from its list”, – he said.
The diplomat refused to disclose the name of the company.
Sterling said that between the U.S. and Azerbaijan have long been
established broad cooperation in the field of security.
He stressed that in this sphere between Azerbaijan and the United
States has been no change.
It should be noted, according to data of the Armenian National
Committee of America, the U.S. State Department ruled Azerbaijan from
a list of countries that will be sold to the American military
equipment, and refused to official Baku to sell the necessary parts
for military helicopters. The question was raised after a letter sent
to Congress by the representative of the Democratic Party in the House
on Foreign Relations Harvard Berman.
