Source: Armenia didn't deliver weapons to LibyaApril 10, 2013 - 20:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia didn't deliver weapons to Libya, a source, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said. “Perhaps, a minor incident occurred. For this reason, Armenia is mentioned in the list of international experts,” the source told PanARMENIAN.Net In a report to the UN Security Council circulated Tuesday, on April 9 UN the panel said cases of illicit transfers from Libya in violation of a U.N. arms embargo that have been proven and are still under investigation involve more than 12 countries and include heavy and light weapons such as portable air defense systems, explosives, mines, and small arms and ammunition. The five-member expert panel made 28 visits to 15 countries in Africa, Europe and the Middle East including 10 visits to Libya. The 94-page report details arms trafficking cases that violate the embargo imposed after the 2011 uprising began as well as efforts to track down the financial assets of individuals and companies linked to Gadhafi and his regime that are on the U.N. blacklist. The panel said it also examined evidence of the delivery of weapons and ammunition from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to support the anti-Gadhafi revolutionaries during the uprising and considers that both countries violated the U.N. arms embargo, despite Qatar's denial that it transferred any military materiel. It cited a case of the transfer of ammunition to Libya involving the United Arab Emirates, Armenia, Albania and Ukraine, a separate case involving Sudan, and the reported transfer of a drone to the Libyan opposition by a Canadian company which Canadian authorities say is under investigation, Associated Press reported.
