A correction to "Israel is Azerbaijan’s main arms supplier". Israel is Azerbaijan's main high technology weapons supplier, but I believe Russian arms make up the bulk of Azerbaijan's arsenal. Indeed, EurasiaNet http://www.eurasianet.org/node/72581 reported that 85% of Azerbaijan's weapons are from Russia. Of course one has to define what weapons are. Is Azerbaijan's large contract with Israel to update their T72 tank fire control systems a weapon or just an upgrade? Yerevan, Armenia
