The Rosoboronexport (Russian Defense Export) state corporation neither confirmed nor refuted the reports on Russia’s intention to sell two batteries of the S-300PMU2 Favorit air-defense system to Azerbaijan. Vyacheslav Davydenko, Spokesman for the Rosoboronexport Director General, said he was not authorized to make any comments. He also neither confirmed nor refuted the fact of a relevant agreement between Rosoboronexport and the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan.

In a private talk, however, he said: “We are not allowed to make any comments on the agreement, as the agreement has a relevant stipulation. Russia signed an interstate agreement with one of the partner countries, which has nothing to do with any others,” Davydenko said. He also gave an evasive answer to a question concerning a speculation that “it has nothing to do with Armenia.”
