Putin: Country like Azerbaijan is able to buy arms anywhere

He made the remarks Aug. 10 at the joint conference with Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan, commenting on the question of Armenian journalist about the arms supply to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"As for weapons, we have a work program with Armenia,” noted Putin. "Armenia is a member of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization); we have mutual obligations, and Russia always adheres to its obligations and always fulfills its obligations.”

Russian president added that any country can buy almost any weapon in the modern weapons market.

"A country like Azerbaijan – oil-producing country, a country with the rapidly growing economy, with a sufficiently large volume of gold and currency reserves, of course, is be able to buy it anywhere,” said Putin.

He also noted that the existing problems should be solved by peaceful means.
