ARMENIA BUYS 2,6 MILLION US DOLLARS WORTH ARMS FROM SERBIA
Journal of Turkish Weekly, Turkey
Feb 20 2007
Armenian daily panArmenian reports that Armenia buys arms from
Armenia. Armenia will pay about 2,6 million US dollars for the two
parties shipment of the arms from Serbia.
The first shipment of arms produced by the Kragujevac-based weapons
manufacturer Zastava Oruzje, according to the panArmenian, will head
for Armenia toward the end of the week, although it was announced
earlier that the first shipment would take place in mid-January.
The shipment was delayed due to the complicated procedure for issuing
all the permits necessary for the export of arms.
Zastava Oruzje got the permit to export the first of the two arranged
shipments, worth USD 1.7 million, on January 10th, but the procedure
for issuing the transport and other necessary permits is only being
completed in february 2007.
The realization of the second export contract, worth USD 900 000, is
still uncertain, as none of the ministries in charge of this matter
approved the export on the basis of this contract.
Although Armenia is the poorest economy in the region, Armenia follows
an aggressive foreign policey towards the neigbours. About 20 percent
of Azerbaijan has been under Armenian occupation. Armenian Constitution
does not recognise neigbouring Turkey's national territorial unity.
