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".
