Russia has delivered its military hardware of about $2 bln twice in the past 10 years, thus in fact creating a source of war in the region, said deputy Vahid Ahmedov at a plenary session of the Azerbaijani parliament.
He reminded that before the start of the spring session of Milli Medjlis about 15 deputies appealed to the parliament with a request to discuss information about supply of Russian military hardware of a total of $800,000,000 to Armenia.

"The speaker informed the deputies that Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev is visiting Moscow on this issue and discussions on this issue will be possible only after his return. The Minister has returned long ago and this issue still remains open. This informaiton caused serious resonance among the Azerbaijani public", said Ahmedov.

Supporting his colleague, deputy Fazil Gazanfaroghlu noted that CSTO member-states agreed to create common armed forces.

"Armenia is also within this organization. This proves that a new source of threat comes from this organization for Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan should think over alternative ways and officials should inform the deputies about their proposals. This may bring clarity to these issues for public", said Gazanfaroghlu.
