ArmInfo. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responded to Azerbaijan's criticism over the delivery of weapons to Armenia.
"We have good relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, but apart from that we have a policy to promote defense exports," Jaiswal said in a press briefing.
Earlier it was reported that India will supply Armenia with a batch of weapons and ammunition worth 20 billion rupees ($244.7 million). Deliveries will be carried out on the basis of contracts signed by the two countries in early September last year. In accordance with them, India will supply Armenia with Pinaka multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) of its own design, which will be sold abroad for the first time, as well as anti-tank missiles and a batch of ammunition.
In 2020, India supplied four Swathi artillery reconnaissance systems to Armenia.
In addition, India decided to send a military attache to Yerevan.
