Russia is not a traitor! Why don't you blame also Israel and US for selling weapons to Azerbaijan?

The balance of armed forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan was broken far long ago, as unlike Armenia Azerbaijan is injecting huge sums into its military sector, MP Vardanyan told a press conference today, as he referred to an alleged deal recently much-spoken-about.

If completed it will see Russia sell C-300 anti-missile defense systems to Azerbaijan.

According to Mr Khachatryan that system will replenish Azerbaijan's defense capabilities. But still it is not a big advantage.

At the same time he mentioned that it is difficult to say what effects it can have as far as the deal is not confirmed.

Besides Mr Khachatryan noted that he does not think that by selling C-300s to Azerbaijan Russia is arming the aggressor as Armenia also has such systems in its arsenal.

"I do not think it is encouragement of the aggressor [country]," said he, adding it is inadmissible to consider Moscow as traitor simply for selling those weapons to Baku because if Armenians treat Russia as traitor they must much in the same treat also Israel or US traitor too as they sell weapons to Azerbaijan as well.

"I do not think that this criticism is a way leading to anywhere," he noted, adding that Russia's opinion over the issue should also be heard.
