Armenia will summon its Ambassador to Israel for consultations, the spokesperson for the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Anna Naghdalyan said at a briefing Thursday. Armenia officially opened its embassy in Tel Aviv on September 18.

She said the supply of Israeli weapons to Azerbaijan is unacceptable and Armenia has raised the issue with Israeli colleagues on many occasions.

“The issue has always been on our bilateral agenda. The supply of state-of-the-art Israeli weapons to Azerbaijan is especially regretful at a time when backed by Turkey Azerbaijan is carrying our large-scale aggression against Armenia and Artsakh,” Naghdalyan said.

“At a time when the entire international community is urging Azerbaijan to cease the military actions, Israel keeps supplying weapons to Azerbaijan,’” she stated.

Therefore, Naghdalyan said the Republic of Armenia has made a decision to summon its Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Israel for consultations.

The comments come after reports emerged that two Israeli cargo planes carrying weapons landed in Baku today.
