YEREVAN. – The opposition Heritage party has issued a statement strictly condemning sales of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan.  

The party also condemned the decision to transfer Shah Deniz 2 gas field to Trans-Adriatic Pipeline. According to the statement, both decisions damage Armenia’s interests and hamper European integration of the South Caucasus

“The sale of arms by our de jure CSTO ally is strictly reprehensible act which is inconsistent with the strategic partnership,” the party said in a statement. They are confident that such a move is possible only because of the Armenian authorities’ policy.

“If Russia’s unacceptable behavior continues, Armenia should review its relations with that country. If any citizen of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh dies in an attack of Smerch used by Azerbaijan, the responsibility will fall on a country-supplier,” the statement said.
