YEREVAN. - Latvian Latspeceksports Company may be involved in the sale of offensive weapons and missile complexes to Armenia, which were purchased in Moldova, chas-daily.com reports. The copy of the agreement on arms states Moldavian MOD and Latvian company as sides. The Latvian company purchased the weapons and sold them to Armenia, Azerbaijani diplomats said angrily to Latvian MFA. Currently the case is run by the security police.
The case was brought forwards several months ago due to the fact that the jet, on which the weapons were transported, was intended for Libya. Thus, Latvian company was blamed for the supply of Moldavian arms to the civil war participants in Libya. However, it was later revealed that the jet was only transporting weapons to Armenia, Neka Person reports.
It was officially stated that Armenia purchased old and useless for direct operational use weapons of Moldavian army. However, the weapons turned to be quite modern. Besides, the weapons were purchased quite cheaper. The real price was $8 million, while the agreement mentioned only $3 million. Supposedly the rest of money was given as bribe to the Moldavian military officials.
It s noteworthy, that Latvian company had no permission by Latvian MFA to purchase arms.

Any particular reason for your wish!!.
If to strike at the baboons you have to realise cruise missiles are rather slow.
On of the reasons and aims of the S-300 was to counter them.Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests
