France sold illiquid military equipment to Yerevan, official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, said this during the briefing today, while commenting on the sending of French Bastion armored vehicles to Armenia, Paralel.Az reports.

According to Zakharova, Paris sent the equipment to Yerevan because it could not sell it elsewhere.

The official of the MFA noted that it seems naive to make arguments that the supply of such equipment to Armenia will benefit the security of the country:

"That armored vehicle showed very low effectiveness in real combat conditions."
