Moldovan defense minister confirms arms deal with Armenia

Moldovan defense minister confirms arms deal with Armenia

23 September 2011 10:01 (UTC +04:00)

An Ilyushin Il-76 jetliner, which came to Moldova from Libya’s Benghazi on September 12, departed to Armenia on September 14, Marinuta said at a special meeting of the Parliamentary Commission for National Security, Defense and Public Order on Wednesday. He said the plane took aboard 30 tonnes of armaments and ammunition with the expired shelf life. " The plane was empty when it arrived in Moldova. When the arms were loaded, the plane departed to its point of destination, Armenia," he said. "The deal has nothing to do with Libya. It is just that the plane came from Benghazi after having fulfilled another order," he said. "The arms deal has a value of millions of dollars," the minister said, but he refused to give the precise sum. Moldova fears that this issue will cause protest in Baku, because the question is about the arms deal with a zone of protracted conflict such as Nagorno Karabakh.
