"I can not say for sure that the free supply of Russian military hardware of a total of $800,000,000 to Armenia really occurred. But we know well that earlier there have been facts of free supply of arms to Armenia by Russia. This allows us to suspect that Russia really made this step", said political scientist Hikmet Hajizade regarding the statement of the Russian ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasili Istratov that the document spread in mass media about the alleged supplies of Russian military hardware to Armenia is disinformation and falsification.
He saud the recent statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which says that Russia has officially not transferred arms in the said amount raises distrust to the version of the Russian side.
"A reasonable question arises that perhaps this military hardware was unofficially supplied to Armenia", asks Hajizade. In any case, in order to clarify this issue, we need to reveal the primary source of information about the free supply of military hardware. "Only then we will be able to clarify this issue", said Hajizade.
