Baku's accusations that a "part of Russian military hardware has been transported from Georgia to Karabakh" will not affect the conflict settlement, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said.

"Rumors about transportation of Russian armament to Karabakh are groundless. Azerbaijan's statements are nothing but propaganda. It's noteworthy that the side allegedly concerned over armament race in the region, violates the CFE norms and doesn't conceal its intention to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict by the use of force, what can affect the negotiation process," the Armenian Minister told Kommersant daily.
