Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense warns France: Rearmament of Armenia leads to new war

Armenia is a state that committed military aggression and occupation against Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said, Report informs.

The rearmament of Armenia, which has experience of bloody military aggression, by France, which is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, and the Armenian leadership’s support for the revanchist policy is a path to a new war, equal to political irresponsibility, the ministry noted.

"Although the French Ministry of Defense claimed in October statement of last year that the military equipment supplied to Armenia was of a defensive nature, equipping Armenia with lethal weapons under the current military deal is another manifestation of the hypocrisy of the French leadership," said the ministry.
