The Security Deputy of the Governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province, Aliyar Rastgou, on Tuesday also denied the passage of arms but confirmed that Russian-made Kamaz trucks were being transited to Armenia.
“The images…published in social networks show the trucks that Armenia has purchased from Russia, which are transited through Iran, but I insist that they do not contain any military equipment,” Aliyar stated.
Aliyar also claimed the trucks had been held at Iran’s Nourdouz border point, 190 km to the north of Tabriz, for necessary investigations.
The Iranian Embassy in Baku on Monday also dismissed allegations of arms supplies, alleging that “hostile forces” aimed to sabotage the “developing cooperation and friendship” between Iran and Azerbaijan.
The video presented by the Iranian channel clearly shows that the Kamaz trucks are not civilian trucks, but military vehicles. Although some of them have been opened, most of them are under tents, and it is not known whether they have any additional cargo in the trunk.
