Russia's arms supply is its sovereign right - Zakharova
"The arms supply from Russia is our sovereign right," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing on Thursday. As TASS news agency reported, Zakharova's statement came in response to comment on Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's latest remarks calling on Russia to refrain from supplying arms to Armenia.
"We have read and learnt much about that, and I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we have established corresponding relations with both Azerbaijan and Armenia. The Russian side also considers the necessity of maintaining the balance of power in the region," Zakharova added.
