ArmInfo. I do not think that the United States will sell weapons to Armenia and Azerbaijan, but will carry on a conversation. This opinion on November 9 during a  video bridge Yerevan-Moscow-Tallinn was declared by Member of the  Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security. Frants  Klintsevich.Frants Klintsevich, referring to the prospects for  selling arms to Washington Yerevan and Baku.

Klintsevich believes that in the current realities of the United  States, the goal is to bring discord between Russia and its partners  in the region. In this context, he recalled that Russia has  repeatedly stressed that Armenia is one of the friendliest countries  in the post-Soviet space, and has never betrayed it. "I don't think  that the United States will sell weapons to Armenia and Azerbaijan,  but they will have conversations, as this is an extremely difficult  issue related to our neighbors and Russia. It is unlikely Russia will  agree with this provocation. But the United States sees money in  everything, therefore trying to''sell a pup'' in countries like  Armenia, Azerbaijan, to Ukraine old but robust weapon, so as not to  perish", he said, adding that the first attempt at writing was made,  and now there will be monitoring of opinions.

In conclusion, the MP added that the United States would speculate on  the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in order to harm Russia.

To note during the visit to Yerevan, Trump's adviser on national  security, referring to the possible sale of American weapons to  Azerbaijan, in particular, said: "I cannot predict what the decision  will be on increasing the sale of weapons. But the situation is that  Armenia's most of its weapons are purchased from Russia; Azerbaijan  also purchases more than 80% from the Russian Federation. This  circumstance certainly does not contribute to the settlement of the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This fact provides a serious tool to  influence the parties and does not lead to peace. We, the Americans,  believe that competitiveness is the driving force. "And our weapons,  in any case, are better than the Russian ones. And I believe that we  should study this issue within the framework of our laws".
