Baku - APA. Details of the letter sent by the head of the Main
Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry,
Major-General Sergei Gmyza to the President of Ukraine Viktor
Yanukovych about the secret arms sale to Armenia became known.
The letter No. 22/3D/0102 dated back to 15 October 2011.
In the letter, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the
Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Major-General Sergei Gmyza explained the
ways of arms supplies to Armenia under a contract between
Ukrspetsexport and DG Arms Corporation (the mediator of Armenian
Defense Ministry). The letter offers to use front companies registered
in EU and CIS for supplies. According to 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.
Gmyza said that 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.
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry denied information about the sale of rocket
launchers to Armenia. APA quotes RIA-Novosty agency as saying that
speaker for the ministry's foreign policy department Alexander
Dikusarov said during a briefing today that these materials placed on
Internet resources have unknown sources, don't coincide with truth and
have a provocative character.
The ministry official said Ukraine was committed to the international
obligations undertaken within the UN and OSCE framework on the issue
of development of military cooperation between the countries. `Next
year, Ukraine will take over the OSCE presidency and will make maximum
efforts for security and stability in the region'.
