Baku. Victoria Dementyeva – APA. “Germany and France apply the OSCE weapon embargo towards Armenia and Azerbaijan,” French ambassador to Azerbaijan Pascal Monye said in response to a question raised by APA concerning article published on the Armenian website about MILAN anti-tank missile systems sold to Armenia.

“I have no precise information about this sale which is very highly improbable, because the export of military equipment would be in contradiction with these sanctions. The French side is now investigating the information and the source it came from.”

Armenian razm.info military website released photos of MILAN anti-tank missile systems bought by Armenia. But information about the number of the missile systems and where they were bought from was not given. MILAN anti-tank missile systems are co-produced by France and Germany. MILAN has been produced since 1962 and the effective range of fire of the missile is 75-2000 meters.
