10 September: The Armenian Defence Ministry has categorically denied
Azerbaijan's statements that Russian weapons from [Russia's] bases
in Georgia have been delivered to [Armenia's] regions bordering
Azerbaijan.
The Armenian defence minister's press secretary Col Seyran Shahsuvaryan
told Arminfo that the statement about the delivery of weapons was
nothing but the latest piece of misinformation that had political
goals.
The Azerbaijani media quoted today Azerbaijani Defence Minister
Safar Abiyev as saying that Baku was checking reports that Russian
military equipment had been delivered from bases in Georgia to Armenian
territories bordering Azerbaijan.
"The equipment that comes to Armenia from the Russian bases in Georgia
goes to the 102nd Russian base in Gyumri. The equipment is delivered
to the base in order to replace missing equipment and it is at the
Russian side's disposal. The Armenian side has nothing to do with
these weapons," Seyran Shahsuvaryan said.
