Baku condemns French arms supplies to Armenia
Baku condemns the French military supplies to Armenia, the Azerbaijani foreign minister’s spokesman said on Monday.
"There are news about delivery by France of a significant number of Bastion multi-purpose armored personnel carriers and related equipment to Armenia,” local media quoted Aykhan Hajizade as saying.
He claimed that the transfer of military equipment “only reinforces Armenia’s military potential and its ability to carry out destructive operations in the region.”
“Armenia and France must discontinue their policy of armament and militarization in the region. The countries need to realize that there is no alternative to peace and cooperation in the region,” the official added.
Armenia and France signed a deal on defense cooperation last month.
