Azerbaijan got involved in supplying weapons to the Islamic State, says a report of the British organization Conflict Armament Research, which monitors the movement of conventional weapons globally.
According to the research, in May 2015, Syrian YPG forces recovered a PG7PM primary propelling charge from IS forces near Al Hasakah. A CAR field investigation team documented the item, with lot number 1-14-((11)), on 20 May 2015.
“Bulgaria confirmed that it had exported the item on 18 December 2014 to the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan. The application for the licence was accompanied by the original EUC. CAR has yet to receive a response to a trace request sent to Azerbaijan,” the report said.
According to the documents submitted by Bulgaria, the export was realized on 18 December 2014 from Bourgas Airport, Bulgaria, to Baku Airport, Azerbaijan.
As reported earlier, Azerbaijan has already been accused of having links to ISIS. Azerbaijan transported arms to Saudi Arabia which later was found in ISIS warehouse, Balgarian newspaper Trud reported.
