    As is known, on 30 January 2013 the Russia-based Nezavisimaya Gazeta
    published an interesting article the author of which admits the
    mistake of supplying S300 to Azerbaijan. In addition, Lieutenant
    General Leonid Ivashov is quoted, "Sale of Favorite modern air
    defense complexes to Azerbaijan instead of Iran is a political or
    rather geopolitical miscalculation by Dmitri Medvedev. We lost a
    lot by reaching agreement and signing New Start with Washington, the
    international agreements on the northern seas are not fully in line
    with our interests. Assisted by the ex-minister of defense Anatoly
    Serdyukov, Medvedev authorized the signing of agreement with Israel on
    reconnaissance data exchange. All these agreements are very difficult
    to revoke, including with Azerbaijan which boosts its military budget
    and carries out actions which are contrary to the interests of Russia
    and its allies," the president of the academy of geopolitical issues,
    Colonel General Leonid Ivashov thinks.

    It should be noted that in late November 2012 the same Lieutenant
    General Leonid Ivashov told me in his office in Moscow in answer to my
    question on his opinion on the supply of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan,
    "Quite normal."I wrote about it without mentioning L.

    Ivashov. In addition, the general insisted on his position and
    arguments. Perhaps he meant weapons other than air defense. But this
    is a suggestion which the Armenian "advocates" of the dual Russian
    policy could give.

    The Russian policy of arms export will affect its own security. For
    the time being, it would be good to answer the question whether Israel
    used Russian technology in production of arms supplied to Azerbaijan
    and whether Russia is aware of this. It would be good to hear the
    opinion of the Armenian "advocates" of all kinds of pro-Eurasian,
    pro-governmental and anti-governmental riffraff who work their asses
    off to become Russian prostitutes.
