ArmInfo.After the April war in the zone of the Karabakh conflict in 2016, Russia made certain conclusions in connection with the supply of weapons to Azerbaijan.  The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs  and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin stated at the press  conference in Yerevan by.

"We very much regret that Azerbaijan has not found any other use for  the weapons it acquired from Russia, but I want to note that Russia  has made certain conclusions about this from the violation of the  balance of power and provided Armenia with modern weapons for  self-defense," stressed the deputy.

As for the fact that Azerbaijan continues to acquire arms from  Russia, Zatulin noted that the Russian Federation simply fulfills the  contracts that were signed before April 2016, as this is part of its  obligations.  At the same time, the parliamentarian assured that  Russia will no longer supply weapons to Azerbaijan on this scale.  "Above all, Russia did not supply weapons to Azerbaijan on the same  terms as Armenia," the MP stressed.

The delegation headed by Zatulin is in Yerevan to participate in the  joint meeting of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs and  Relations with Compatriots and the RA National Assembly Committee on  Foreign Affairs. Within the framework of the meeting, Armenian and  Russian parliamentarians discussed cooperation between the two  countries at international parliamentary platforms and outlined  further prospects for cooperation.
