Amid tensions with Armenia, Azerbaijan is buying drones and military equipment from other countries, reportedly also from Israel and Turkey.
According to “Armenpress”, the head of the RA representation in the European Union, Ambassador Tigran Balayan said this in a conversation with Brussels Signal.
Armenia has tracked purchases of munitions that reportedly arrived on military flights, including from Israel and Turkey. These shipments are believed to include drones.
“60 or 70 percent of Azerbaijan’s military equipment comes from Israel, and then from Turkey,” Balayan said.
He also noted that military flights from Serbia, which recently announced its intention to sell artillery equipment to Azerbaijan, have increased.
Balayan, speaking about Azerbaijan’s recent aggression, as a result of which 4 Armenian soldiers were killed, said:
“That attack was a message not only to Armenia, but also to Brussels.”
Balayan added that the incident happened a few hours before the meeting of the EU-Armenia Partnership Council.
Balayan described the attack as an open challenge to EU “power” in the region.
The ambassador noted that Azerbaijan has no intention to end the conflict with Armenia.
“Despite all the warning calls, Azerbaijan did not stop its aggressive rhetoric, aggressive actions, killings and provocations,” he said.
