The delivery of Russian armament to Azerbaijan lags much behind the volumes of growth of Armenia's military potential, a member of the "Karabakh" committee, former adviser of Armenia's first president, Ashot Manucharyan, said at today's press-conference.
When commenting on the recent statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin about creation of the Armenian-Russian air defence system, and at the same time on delivery of helicopters Mi-35 to Azerbaijan, Manucharyan said that there is no disagreement in Russia's actions as it seems at first sight. He also added that today Azerbaijan found itself fully under the influence of the Anglo-Saxon world, and in its attempts to restore control at the post-Soviet area Moscow has been taking active attempts to rescue Azerbaijan from the Anglo-Saxon hands. Actually, this is the reason of the Russian armament delivery to Azerbaijan as a means for establishment of its influence.
"At the same time, one should remember that only thanks to Armenia Russia has got the military presence in the South Caucasus. Today Armenia has a huge military potential much stronger than the Azerbaijani one. Such a military power makes it possible to attack even Turkey", - Manucharyan said.
