ArmInfo. Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responded to Azerbaijan's criticism over the delivery of weapons to Armenia.
"We have good relations with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, but apart
from that we have a policy to promote defense exports," Jaiswal said
in a press briefing.
Earlier it was reported that India will supply Armenia with a batch
of weapons and ammunition worth 20 billion rupees ($244.7 million).
Deliveries will be carried out on the basis of contracts signed by
the two countries in early September last year. In accordance with
them, India will supply Armenia with Pinaka multiple launch rocket
systems (MLRS) of its own design, which will be sold abroad for the
first time, as well as anti-tank missiles and a batch of ammunition.
In 2020, India supplied four Swathi artillery reconnaissance systems
to Armenia.
In addition, India decided to send a military attache to Yerevan.
