They Appeared Accidentally, Says Sargsyan"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Armenia never sold nor resold weapons to Iran. We have no military-technical cooperation, said Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in an interview with Ekho Moskvy (Echo of Moscow) radio, commenting on a leaked WikiLeaks cable in which US diplomats concluded that Armenia supplied rockets and machine guns to Iran which were later used to kill US troops in Iraq. This, naturally, didn&#8217;t make the US State Department too happy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s necessary to note that we recognize Iran&#8217;s right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and we always say this loudly. We also have a nuclear power plant. Of course, we are likewise interested, both in our case and in Iran&#8217;s, that the work be carried out under IAEA supervision.\u00a0 In this regard, our position is very clear,&#8221; said Sargsyan.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Armenian president, the case referred to by the WikiLeaks cable actually happened. &#8220;In some way or another, a few disposable grenades from Armenia appeared in Iran. They say, troops serving in Iraq were killed because of those grenades. By the way, there were Armenians there too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armenia never sold nor resold weapons to Iran.
