    RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTER AGAIN REFUTES ARMS TRANSFER TO ARMENIA

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov met in
    Moscow with his Azeri counterpart Safar Abiyev. During the meeting,
    Mr. Serdyukov assured Mr. Abiyev that Russia did not transfer arms
    to Armenia.

    Baku's accusation campaign started after publication of some media
    reports about delivery of Russian armament to the amount of $800
    million to Armenia. Some two weeks ago, Azeri ANS TV quoted Russian
    Defense Ministry's spokesman Alexander Petrunin as saying that
    "Russia delivered military hardware to Armenia in the framework of
    a transnational agreement."

    The Russian Foreign Ministry refuted the information. "Such untrue
    anti-Russian publications undermine friendly relations between the
    Russian Federation and Azerbaijan," it said in a note sent to the
    Azeri MFA.
