"No new contracts for the purchase of Russian weapons were signed in the last three years at least," said President Ilham Aliyev during his interview with Dmitry Kiselev, Director General of the “Rossiya Segodnya” International News Agency, APA reports.
"As far as I know, Russia has temporarily withdrawn from the international arms market for obvious reasons. The deadline for the implementation of some contracts that were signed even four years ago was pushed back at Russia's request. We did this too, understanding the situation, as a result of which these contracts cannot be realized. But we are also closely following the innovations of the Russian defense industry. We have already developed new requests. We sent them relatively recently, and as the Russian defense industry is ready, we will, of course, enter into new contracts. So, I consider this process as temporarily suspended for objective reasons," the President of Azerbaijan emphasized.
