During the Armenia-Azerbaijan war last year, Yerevan had launched at least one short-range Iskander ballistic missile at the behest of Russia, but it was shot down by Azerbaijani forces, a senior official claims.
Relations between the two former Soviet republics had been tense since 1991 when the Armenian military occupied Upper Karabakh, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan.
The old dispute led to a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan lasting for six weeks (September 27-November 10), in which the former suffered defeat. It was reported that Azerbaijan’s use of Turkish and Israeli combat and surveillance drones played a significant role in its military success.
