Azerbaijan ignores the statement of NATO's Special Representative
for Caucasus and Central Asia Robert Simmons on excess of quota on
a conventional armament.
R. Simmons said in Baku last week that Azerbaijan exceeds the quotas
on a conventional armament. Part of Azeri mass media tried to represent
it in another light, having ascribed the words "Armenia and Azerbaijan
violate" to R.
Simmons. Now, the representatives of Azerbaijan state of their
intention to raise the issue of violation of quotas by Armenia at
the session of NATO's Parliamentaty Assembly.
According to Siyavush Novruzov, an Azerbaijani parliamentary
representative to PA NATO, a member of the Permanent Parliamentary
Commission on Defense and Security of the Milli Majlis, the issue
of illegal dissemination of weapons concerns Azerbaijan. The Russian
weapons withdrawn from Azerbaijan are sent to Armenia and placed in
the uncontrolled territories. It represents a threat not only for
Azerbaijan and the South Caucasus, but also for Europe as a whole with
regards to the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan main export oil pipeline, which is
an alternative energy source for Europe," Novruzov stressed. However,
it is unclear what the uncontrolled territories S. Novruzov
meant. Maybe, the matter concerns the territories under NKR control?
