ArmInfo. Press Secretary Acting Armenian Prime Minister Arman Yeghoyan again denied the statements of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, this time he refuted a statement that Pashinyan did not raise the issue of arms sales to Azerbaijan before Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Unfortunately, Alexander Lukashenko continues the practice of publicizing the details of closed meetings. Unfortunately, Lukashenko once again voiced only what was said by him, and does not indicate what answer was given to his statements. During meetings with Putin, Nikol Pashinyan constantly raised the issue of selling Russian weapons to Azerbaijan. He also raised this question during the meeting, which Lukashenko mentioned in his statement. Armenia is set to continue discussions on the full implementation of partner commitments in the framework of the CSTO by the participating countries, "Yeghoyan said.
To note, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, in an interview with journalists, in particular, stated that Minsk is the fifth arms supplier to Azerbaijan. "There are countries that sell weapons of Baku on a large scale, for example, Israel, Russia, Turkey. I told Nikol Pashinyan why he takes offense at Minsk because of the sale of weapons to Azerbaijan. Russia sells them on a much larger scale, why he scored in the mouth, why does not he raise this question before Putin, why does he not criticize him, or is he afraid?", Lukashenko said, adding that during the conversation with Pashinyan, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was also present there.
