    Azerbaijan says Armenia secretly amassing arms



    Russia's consent to sell weapons to Armenia, a member of the
    Collective Security Treaty Organization, at below-market prices will
    increase tension in the South Caucasus, the head of the press service
    of the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry, Eldar Safarov, has said.

    Armenia hides purchased weapons from the UN Weapons Register. At the
    same time, Armenia stations the majority of them in Azerbaijani
    territories under occupation. The fact that Armenia keeps procured
    weapons in secret shows that this country is inclined to armament.
    The handover of part of the weapons and the military hardware from
    the Georgia-based military bases to Armenia violates the norms of the
    Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe [CFE] and this process
    aggravates tension in the region, he added.
