Spokesman of the Israeli Foreign Ministry Igal Palmor has denied the rumours in the Azerbaijani and Armenian media about a halt to shipments of weapons to Azerbaijan, 1news.az reports.
According to some media sources, Russia was persuading Israel to stop shipments of certain categories of offensive weapons as a measure to keep balance in the region. This is believed to be the reason for Russia’s request to change military agreements with Azerbaijan, adjusting the deal on shipments of weapons worth $1.5 billion signed last year.
