ArmInfo.. Norway rejected the application of Azerbaijan for the purchase of defense equipment. This is read in the parliamentary report on arms exports of 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway published.
The government explained the decision on the refusal by saying that Norway is against the sale of weapons and ammunition to regions where there is a war between states or a danger of civil war.
This decision aroused dissatisfaction with the Israeli organization Med Israel for Fred (MIFF), which accused the Norwegian government of applying the practice of double standards and demanded a review of this principle, and the authorization of arms transfers to Israel.
The Armenian side has repeatedly advocated a ban on the sale of weapons to countries involved in conflicts.
