    EXPERT SAYS AZERI ARMAMENT NO PRIORITY FOR RUSSIA

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan's armament is neither a priority
    for Russian foreign policy, nor a trend in its defense companies'
    activities, senior fellow at the Institute of Political and Social
    Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian region said.

    "Russia's official stance holds that sharp change in military-political
    and strategic balance at the line of contact between the parties
    should meet its interests in the South and North Caucasus regions,"
    Andrei Areshev said, commenting on Russian-Azerbaijani arms deal.

    He further said that unlike the Russian-Armenian military and technical
    cooperation, Russian-Azerbaijani collaboration doesn't bear such a
    complex character.

    "You might not believe but Russian government sometimes lacks resources
    to regulate commercial activities of separate businesses," he said,
    adding that special defense companies are in charge of arms supply.

    The political expert further deemed arms deals between Azerbaijan
    and Western countries possible in the near future.
