"How Armenia is investing into defense shows the existing threats. In 2022, the spending was around $700-$800 million, and now in 2024 it's going to be $1.4 or $1.5 billion. There's a billion dollars of contracts with India, and there could be hundreds of millions with France."

What is most important is that Georgia is not hindering the logistics, despite Aliev attempts to put pressure on Tbilisi. At the same time, the leak of these photos from Poti can be done to somehow satisfy Azerbaijan.

France has facts that Syrian Islamists are taking part in hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, stated French President Emmanuel Macron.
So in addition to fighting for their homeland, Armenians are also fighting global terrorism.
