Azerbaijan is ready to continue cooperation with Russia in the military sphere, and the information that between Moscow and Baku there are unresolved financial issues on the contracts for the purchase of Russian weapons is untrue. In an interview with the Moscow newspaper Kommersant this was said by the Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
"There is no problem with payments and the information that between Russia and Azerbaijan there are unresolved financial issues in this regard is wrong. We pay for all in accordance with the contracts. There are problems of performance in the sense that the arms, which come to Azerbaijan, have to comply with the technical parameters fixed in the contracts. Dmitry Rogozin arrived in Baku in order to understand what are the problems associated with these parameters. He received full explanations and no questions remained," the minister said, commenting on the recent visit of Dmitry Rogozin to Baku.
"In terms of the timing of the transaction all goes according to plan. The question is that it is necessary to correct the technical parameters of a few particular types of weapons. And this, according to Dmitry Rogozin, will be done in the nearest future," the minister added.
When asked about the note of Baku in connection with the supply of weapons to Armenia, Mammadyarov said the content of the note was reduced to the fact that weapons supplied to Armenia should not be in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
"If the end user was Armenia, the issue would not go beyond the framework of bilateral relations between Moscow and Yerevan. But when the weapons appear in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, it is a different matter."
"Given that Russia recognizes the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, there is absolutely no logic in the presence of Russian weapons in the occupied territories. As is evident from the further statements of Moscow, the Russian Foreign Ministry perceived the tone of our document correctly," Mammadyarov said. -02D-
