Purchase of 80 MiG-29 -- Moroccan press raises questions over Algeria's armament race

Oct 3, 2004, 04:50 |


The Moroccan press raised questions Friday on the reasons that make Algeria spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the purchase of weapons, especially "offensive weapons rather than defense arms."

Moroccan papers recalled Algeria's purchase of 80 Mig-29 combat aircrafts and its placing an order for Sukhoi fighter jets.

Under the title "What is Algiers up to?," "L'Opinion" noted that Algeria "is carrying on its excessive armament process at a sustained pace that cannot be justified" and expresses officially its "concern to modernize its military potentials."
