Russia's decision to deliver ammunition to Azerbaijan pursues business goals, CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said during the Yerevan-hosted strategic political forum entitled "Political and Security Guidelines in Formation of CSTO Military Component".

"This is a market. When we decide to sell weapons to the countries that are not included in the CSTO we consider the importance of maintaining equality and equilibrium in the Caucasus."

Nikolay Bordyuzha says by selling up to $ 1 billard military equipment to Azerbaijan Russia has not broken the principal of partnership. "Russia has begun compensating the Armenian side. A Russian military base operates in the territory of Armenia which aims to ensure the safety of Armenia," he said.
