Phrygian Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Israel, Turkey plan joint weapons deals for Azerbaijan SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COMMonday, February 2, 2004 ANKARA – Israel and Turkey are planning joint weapons projects in Central Asia. Turkish diplomatic and industry sources said Ankara and Jerusalem are discussing the prospect of a weapons sale to Azerbaijan. They said Israel would supply components and technology for the assembly of weapons platforms in Turkey. Turkey would then deliver the weapons to Azerbaijan. Israel and Turkey have discussed the prospect of joint ventures in Central Asian states. But few deals were reached and governments in the region have preferred to deal directly with Israeli suppliers. Azerbaijan could be the first major market for a joint Israeli-Turkish arms effort. On Jan. 9, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul discussed a range of cooperation during his two-day visit to Baku, Middle East Newsline reported. Baku has retained Israeli contractors for security systems, particularly in airport and border security. Azerbaijan's military has also sought help from Israel and Turkey amid a deterioration in Baku's relations with Iran that stems from a dispute over the energy-rich Caspian Sea. "At any rate, Israel has agreed to sell its military equipment -- assembled in Turkey -- to Central Asia and the South Caucasus," the Baku-based Zerkalo reported on Jan. 7. "Should the Azerbaijani authorities and Gul agree on this, Israel will start supplying military equipment to Azerbaijan." Turkey could sell its aging systems to Azerbaijan as Ankara implements its military modernization program. Israel and Turkey were also said to have been discussing the upgrade of Soviet-origin equipment in Azerbaijan's military. On Thursday, the Ankara-based Hurriyet daily reported that Turkey's deputy military chief of staff visited Israel on an unannounced trip. Hurriet said the deputy chief was accompanied by a 45-member delegation from the Defense Ministry and state-owned defense companies. Hurriet said the meeting discussed cooperation in military and defense cooperation as well as intelligence exchange. http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/breaking_7.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voter Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Baku leaders wants to spend the oil money at once and get their intermediate percents from deal, as a personal money on some suiss accounts. Only way to have a legal millions on personal account - be a middleman in big deals. This is the main meaning of all antiarmenian euphoria in Azerbaijan. Otherwise this kind of deals for weapons for country, 10% whose peopulation is living in refugee camps could bring to internal political explosions. I think the weapons will finally even not arraive to Baku, they will be reselled on black market of Turkey to islamists will come back into Israel and go into Chechnya as a terror attacks... Armenians could easily, I think they do it already, use this fact to get a weapon from Russia on cheap prices. Seems the negotiations are going on, because on days a russians speaker says about being against the inceare of amount of weapons in Caucasus. Finally both sides will increase their weapons - armenia in real and baku on paper only...So armenians need not worry about Baku having more weapons in real... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
