OSCE PROVOKES ARMAMENT TRANSPORTATION FROM GEORGIA TO ARMENIA, BAKU CONSIDERS
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Khalaf Khalafov considers that the OSCE creates possibilities for the transportation of armament from Georgia to Armenia, thus provoking the violation of military balance in the region. According to the diplomat, the "transportation of Russian armament from Georgia to Armenia tenses situation in the region." "Not only Azerbaijan but also all the states of the region should be concerned over this step" he stressed. At the same time Khalafov noted that the Kremlin informed Azerbaijan of the transportation and guaranteed that it is not targeted against the Azerbaijani Republic. "However it will break military balance in the region and the OSCE should be careful about the fact", he resumed.
