Armenia not going to buy water cannons from Turkey
Armenia is not going to buy water cannons from Turkey.

"The Armenian police did not request the State Purchases Agency for procurement of water cannons from a Turkish firm," Vasak Tarposhyan, head of the Agency, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

Earlier, Nurol Machinery and Industry Inc., a Turkish firm in the defense business, announced that it is preparing to sell vehicle-mounted water cannons to Armenia.

"Armenia contacted us. Talks have been going on for some time now," Nurol Machinery's deputy marketing manager Tanju Torun said during a demonstration for the firm's new six-wheeled Ejder (Dragon) armored personnel carrier.
