Official Baku Does Not Comment on Delivery of Iskanders to Armenia
The Azerbaijani leadership has not yet expressed its attitude to the supply of the missile system Iskander to Armenia, although more than a week has passed since its demonstration at the parade in Yerevan.
The Foreign Ministry and the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan say nothing and refuse to give a comment. In the meantime, a couple of pro-government deputies expressed a kind of “anxiety” and “confusion” with these actions of Moscow.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, which keenly and operatively follows the visits of foreign journalists and deputies to Karabakh, regularly updating their blacklist, this time shows strange “indifference” and seems speechless.
Strangely silent are also representatives of the Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov and Ali Hasanov, who have a ready-made set of accusations against the West for criticizing human rights violations.
Of the officials a comment followed only by the Minister of Defense Industry Yaver Jamalov as saying that Iskander is an old system, although instead of that he had better say nothing. -02B-
