ArmInfo.In cooperation with the RA Ministry of Defense, all partners of Armenia were provided with comprehensive information about the weapons used by the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem against Artsakh and its people. The Spokesperson of the RA MFA Anna Naghdalyan stated this referring to the information that Yerevan did not provide information to Canada on the use of Turkish UAVs in the NKR.
"This information, including in the form of relevant reports, was transmitted from the first days of the war. The reports spoke about the participation of Turkey in hostilities, the transfer of terrorists, the use of prohibited weapons by Azerbaijan and much more.
To have a better idea on this issue, I will simply describe one situation. During the war, our embassies in the countries producing Bayraktar drones, including the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Canada, were instructed to appeal to the receiving side with an appeal to stop supplying complete sets for UAVs to Turkey. As a result of the steps taken, the Canadian company Bombardier, ignoring its business commitments, decided to stop selling engines produced by its Austrian subsidiary Rotax to the Italian supplier of Turkey, "she said.
At the same time, Naghdalyan assured that similar work was carried out in the direction of "Veskam". "The necessary information was sent to the RA embassies immediately after it was received. The above works were carried out in the direction of Canada, although the Canadian side did not officially request such information. I will add that this is not about information published in the press, statements, but about factual data that are intended solely for internal use. I cannot give any other details about this ", summed up the Spokesperson of the RA MFA. It should be noted that in the final report on the permission to export complete sets to Turkey, published on the website of the Canadian Foreign Ministry, it is noted that the Armenian authorities refused to provide information to Canada on the use of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones in Nagorno-Karabakh. The report states that a former Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman stated that the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone was shot down by Armenian air defense units during the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh, and tweeted the alleged wreckage of the TB2 drone. "After the suspension of the permit on October 5, 2020, Canada asked Armenia to provide any information that could help in considering the charges (the use of Canadian technologies in drones - ed.). However, Armenia did not provide such information," the report says.
