Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan believes that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin's style does not pertain to a statesman. Kocharyan made such statement responding to Rogozin's latest statement on supply of Russian arms to Azerbaijan.
"Unlike the Russian deputy prime minister, I cannot use such style. It is inadmissible to him," he said.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Rogozin told Echo of Moscow Radio that Russia would not stop selling weapons to Azerbaijan and Armenia, otherwise Americans and NATO will occur there in a blink.
He said the Russian arms supplies keep the balance in the region to prevent military escalation. "Otherwise, other countries will supply weapons of offensive nature to the given region," he said. "Armenia is our ally at the CSTO and we have a military-technical cooperation with it. Azerbaijan is not our ally, but it is our strategic partner in the region and we have economic ties and a big Diaspora in Russia. They pay for the Russian weapons," Rogozin explained. -m-
