Sarkisian Repeats Concerns Over Russian Arms Sales To Azerbaijan

President Serzh Sarkisian on Wednesday voiced fresh concerns about large-scale deliveries of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan, saying that they could damage the traditionally close Russian-Armenian relations.

"The fact that Russia sells weapons to Azerbaijan for various reasons worries us," Sarkisian told an international media forum held in Yerevan.

"The problem here is not the quality of the sold weapons," he said during a question-and-answer session that followed his speech at the gathering. "The problem is that the young Armenian man deployed on our border [with Azerbaijan] or the [Nagorno-Karabakh] Line of Contact realizes that they are trying to kill him with Russian weapons. This is the gravest thing."
