YEREVAN. – I cannot say an exact day and hour as to when the Russian side will provide the weapons and military equipment envisioned by the US$200-million loan.

Koryun Nahapetyan, Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs, on Friday told the abovementioned to reporters in Parliament.

“The [respective] works are carried out according to the specified schedule,” Nahapetyan said. “Now, those in charge of the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia are actively working based on the agreements reached with the Russian side.”

To the remark that all the while Russia is arming Azerbaijan and teaching it skills to use weapons, Koryun Nahapetyan recalled that the Armenian side had voiced these concerns during the talk with the Russian colleagues, at the Armenian NA. 

“The Russian side still continues to consider [this matter] in accordance with the internal procedures of their parliament,” he added.

The Armenian MP informed that this meeting was held on April 15.
