    Details of Ukrainian Defense Ministry's letter on supply of arms to
    Armenia become known


    Azerbaijan, Baku, 13 August / Trend /

    The details of the letter of head of the Main Intelligence Directorate
    of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Major-General Sergei Gmyza to
    President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych on arms supplies to Armenia
    under a contract between Ukrspetsexport and DG Arms Corporation (the
    mediator of Armenian Defense Ministry) became known.

    The letter offers to use front companies registered in EU and CIS for
    supplies. The letter contains a scheme of illegal supply of 12 units
    of multiple Smerch rocket launching systems and their components, as
    well as 50 Igla MANPADS from Ukraine to Armenia.

    As noted in the letter, Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian
    Defense Ministry received information about the contract between the
    Ukrspetsexport and DG Arms Corporation (the mediator of Armenian
    Defense Ministry) to supply 12 units of Smerch multiple rocket
    launching systems and their components, 50 Igla MANPADS, as well as
    the fact that Armenia has already paid 50 percent of contract value.

    At the same time Gmyza indicates that Azerbaijan may be aware of this deal.

    Not wanting to jeopardize the military-technical and energy
    cooperation between Azerbaijan and Ukraine, Ukrspetsexport is invited
    to "publicly renounce the fact of an agreement with the Armenian
    side." At the same time the Armenian company is offered to simulate
    the appeal to arbitration, "the spread among its environment of
    sharply negative attitude to the leadership of Ukrspetsexport and the
    Ukrainian side, as an unreliable supplier."

    At the same time head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the
    Ukrainian Defense Ministry proposed to carry out the delivery of
    Smerch sets in a conspiracy from the territory of Moldova, "using
    front companies registered in the EU or the CIS."

    Marking on the products this should be changed, and in the case of
    disclosure of fraud to conceal origin of Igla MANPADS by warehouses in
    Libya, looted by rebels of the liberation movement.
