according to the news agency “Trend”. “Maria Zakharova”, spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said on Wednesday at the weekly meeting that France sold low-quality military weapons to Armenia.
Armenia signed a contract with France has signed a contract to purchase the Mistral short-range missile system. This missile system is special for targeting short-range targets. “Sébastien Lecorneau”, the Minister of Armed Defense of France, recently told reporters in Paris that Armenia will purchase three “Master-200” radar systems.
Republics Azerbaijan and Armenia have been fighting over the Nagorno-Karabakh region for three decades. The two countries do not have diplomatic relations. In September, the Republic of Azerbaijan launched a lightning operation to retake the region, which is internationally recognized as Baku’s but has been controlled by Armenians under the patronage of Armenia since the 1990s. This operation led to mass exodus of almost 120,000 Armenians from Karabagh to Armenia. Zakharova said in this regard: “The delivery of Bastion armored vehicles to Armenia is almost naive.” It seams. In Ukraine, they have shown their low efficiency in actual warfare. This means that France only sold low-quality military weapons to Yerevan. It is unclear how this purchase can strengthen the protection of the independent territory of Armenia.” This also applies to the conclusion of the peace treaty with the Republic of Azerbaijan.
