Official Baku's response to Armenia-France military-technical cooperation is puzzling. It is the sovereign right of any country to have an army armed with combative and modern military equipment. The RA Foreign Ministry issued a statement about this.

The message specifically states: "The Republic of Armenia recognizes the territorial integrity and inviolability of borders of all its neighbors. Armenia and the Republic of Baku (ed.) agreed at the highest level that they recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty on the basis of the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration. The Republic of Armenia adheres to this principle and has no ambitions beyond its internationally recognized territory of 29,743 square kilometers. The Republic of Armenia has proven this approach in practice with the initiative to demarcate four villages in the Tavush region of the Republic of Armenia and Ghazakh region of the Republic of Baku (ed.). We call on Baku (ed.) to put an end to the occupation of vital territories of more than 30 villages of the Republic of Armenia.

Baku's (ed.) practice of predicting regional escalations on every occasion is thought-provoking and comes to justify the analyzes made by a number of centers that the Republic of Baku (ed.) will do everything to abort the process of concluding a peace agreement with Armenia in 2024. for launching a new aggression against the Republic of Armenia after the "COP29" summit to be held in Baku in November.

We draw the attention of the international community to this, as well as to the fact that official Yerevan's offer to conclude a peace agreement within 1 month remained unresponsive by official Baku."
