Issue of appearance of Slovak weaponry in Azerbaijan closed: Slovak minister
The issue of appearance of Slovak weaponry in Azerbaijan is closed, OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Slovak foreign minister Miroslav Lajčák said at a joint press conference with Armenia’s foreign minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan.
The weaponry appears in Azerbaijan not directly but through third countries, as, more probably, the documents do not fix the final addressee.
“We have been informed about the situation by Armenia’s diplomatic mission and a thorough study has been implemented together with ministry of economy during which no mistake by the Slovakian side has been found,” Lajčák said, stressing that Slovakia and Israel had a separate contract, separate documents which fixed that the final addressee is Israel.
“We have discussed the issue several times with minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan. I think the issue is closed. We have explained everything in details to each other, understood each other, and I think this discussion will not occur anymore. The contract has been suspended too,” the Slovak minister said.
