Armenia sold $1.5 mln-worth weapons to Congo
Spokesperson of the Armenian Ministry of Defense, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, confirms press reports that Armenia exports a certain amount of arms and ammunition to Congo. “Armenia has legally exported to the Democratic Republic of Congo weapons and ammunition which are no longer used by the Armenian Armed Forces,” Artsrun Hovhannisyan wrote on his Facebook. Earlier, SPUTNIK reported that although Armenia isn’t a major weapons producer and seller, it exports arms and ammunition. The largest such deal in the past years was registered in 2014 when ammunition worth about $1.5 million was sent abroad. The Democratic Republic of Congo is the only country to receive Armenian ammo, with some 1500 units of weaponry with a $1.468.000 customs value exported overall.
