Document on Russian arms transfer to Armenia fraud

The document on the alleged transfer of Russian arms to Armenia is a fraud, Russia’s Ambassador to Armenia said.

“There was no transfer and there is nothing to comment on,” Ambassador Nikolay Pavlov told a news conference today.

The Azeri media started spreading rumors on “Russian arms transfer to Armenia to the amount of $800 million.” Despite refutations by the Russian Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs, Azerbaijan doesn’t put an end to the campaign.
