. “We have several times informed international organizations of this issue. Armenia hides information about procurement of weapons and this shows once more that Armenia inclines to armament,” he added.

Safarov noted that Russia takes active part in arming Armenia.



“Armenia continues to hide weapon procurement from the UN Register of Conventional Arms and deploy most of the weapons in Azerbaijan’s territory under occupation,” lieutenant-colonel Eldar Safarov, press officer of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan, told APA.

He added that the issue has been raised vis-à-vis the United Nations and Armenia was listed as a country not reporting to UN Register of Conventional Arms.

“We have several times informed international organizations of this issue. Armenia hides information about procurement of weapons and this shows once more that Armenia inclines to armament,” he added.

Safarov noted that Russia takes active part in arming Armenia.

“Offering weapons and military hardware withdrawn from Georgia to Armenia’s disposal is violation of European arms treaty and has accelerated tension in the regions. Russia’s low-priced arms sales to Collective Security Treaty Organization members, including Armenia will further increase the tension in this region,” he noted.apa
