“Contrary to statements that allegedly support peace and aims at strengthening Armenia's defense capabilities, it is evident that nations like France, which are competing to equip Armenia with offensive lethal weaponry, are serving to turn Armenia into a new source of tension and threat,” reads commentary by Aykhan Hajizada, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia dated June 19, Ednews informs, citing Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

Hajizada noted that taking into account the fact that this policy contributes to the future possible aggression of Armenia, it is important to refrain from these steps until it is too late.

“The prerequisite for the signing of genuine and enduring peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia is the cessation of Armenia’s territorial claims against Azerbaijan, which are enshrined in numerous legal and political documents of this country, especially the Constitution of Armenia, which explicitly refers to the Act of Independence of Armenia calling for the “unification of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh,” he added.
