Deputy Speaker turns to US Congressmen over the purchase of American helicopters by Azerbaijan
Vice President of the Armenian National Assembly Arpine Hovhannisyan has addressed a letter to U.S Congressmen of the House Armed Services Committee, raising concerns about the recent reports of American helicopters obtained by Azerbaijan.
To remind, media reports suggest the Azerbaijani Air Forces have obtained Bell-412 helicopters that will be showcased during a military parade on June 26.
Earlier experts questioned how Bell-412 helicopters produced by American aircraft manufacturer Bell Helicopter reached Baku given the U.S. legislation banning the country to supply arms to a party to conflict.
“I have raised concerns about the sale of American helicopters in a letter to the Co-Chair and the member of Congressional Armenian Caucus,” Hovhannisyan wrote on Facebook, along with the copy of the letter.
