“Turkish authorities have refused transit to a sizeable consignment of Albanian weapons and ammunition bound for Armenia. They forced an Albanian ship to sail back with its cargo. One of our naval vessels loaded with containers full of weapons, mainly heavy artillery and ammunition, was berthed at Durres port. The ship had sailed from Durres to Istanbul, loaded with 60 containers of heavy artillery and shells, destined for Armenia”.
MEIKO company director stated that Albania is not interfering with the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. “Albania sold arm to Armenia according to the law and followed all legal procedures”.
Several days earlier, a representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry had contacted his counterpart at the Albanian Defense Ministry and ordered a large consignment of field and anti-aircraft artillery of various calibers, ranging from 75-mm to 122-mm together with shells. The Albanian Defense Ministry had appointed the MEIKO company to fill the order, since it had some experience in this business. MEIKO has been known in the arms trade ever since Safet Zhulali headed the Albanian Defense Ministry.apa
