Israel's Foreign Ministry has denied the publication in the Armenian
media that Israel has allegedly suspended arms supplies to Baku,
the Baku-based Turan news agency reports.
According to these publications referring to the Swiss Agency ISN,
Russia put pressure on the Israeli Foreign Ministry and gained
suspension of supplies of certain elements of offensive weapons. The
reason stated Russia's reluctance to change the balance of power in
the region.
"No changes happened in this area, no appeals came from the Russian
side. No one changes the agreement," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Yigal
Palmor said to IzRus in relations to the Swiss news agency's reports.
Turan recalls that Israel is one of the largest sellers of arms to
Azerbaijan. Thus, in recent years the country supplied to Baku various
weapons and communication systems worth $1.6 billion.
