The former president’s spokesman Viktor Soghomonyan has told the Epress.am that he is not the one to comment on the information published by the Wikileaks, especially the letter on a warning not to sell weapons to Iran sent to the Armenian president. The Wikileaks published a letter dated December 24, 2008, sent to the RA president, which wrote that Armenia had eased the process of buying armaments from Armenia by ran, as a result of which they found some of these weapons in Iraq, which were used in Iraq and American soldiers suffered and one was killed. The letter also wrote that they were very concerned about the direct involvement of Armenian officials and the fact that Americans suffered. In 2003 the president was Robert Kocharyan. Viktor Soghomonyan referred to the provision in that letter calling on to reform the RA committee in charge of controlling the export and said that it proves that armaments were not sold at the state level. “I think there is no accusation in that letter against Robert Kocharyan and it doesn’t contain anything against him,” he said. He says that according to that letter, it is not excluded that such deal might have been done illegally. “Anyway I think I am not the one to comment and speak about that letter as it was dated 2008, which is president Serzh Sargsyan’s tenure period, and there is nothing about Kocharyan in that letter,” he said. The spokesman of the incumbent president refused to comment on this issue and said that he does not want to comment on the confidential documents of a third country.
