YEREVAN, MAY 9, ARMENPRESS. Ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Armenia Ivan Volinkin announced during a press conference on May 9 that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be settled only through peaceful means, by negotiations. “In this case my opinion is, that this conflict should be solved only peacefully. This conflict should not be settled militarily, it should be settled around a negotiating table. There is no other way”, the Ambassador said.

“Show me documents that Russia continues selling armaments to Azerbaijan”, the Ambassador said by answering a reporter’s question that Russia continues selling weaponry to Azerbaijan in the current tense situation.

To a reporter’s observation that there was an announcement on resumption of selling arms, the Ambassador said: “But it doesn’t mean that it continues selling”.

A reporter asked: “Meaning, Russia is not selling armaments to Azerbaijan?”. The Ambassador did not give a clear answer and said that Russia is selling armaments to Armenia too.
