Armenia is Actively Preparing for War with Azerbaijan - New Facts

Armenia continues active preparation for another war with Azerbaijan. New data available to Caliber.Az editorial office confirms that Yerevan is consistently and purposefully building up its military potential with active support from external forces.

As BAKU.WS reports, this is stated in a new issue of Caliber's analytical YouTube channel.

"Let's get straight to the specific facts. According to our data, France has completed production of the first 10 out of 26 planned Bastion armored personnel carriers, with delivery to Armenia expected soon. Simultaneously, French company KNDS has already delivered 12 CAESAR 155mm self-propelled artillery systems to Armenia, with 24 more units expected to arrive in Yerevan by year's end.

Moreover, the Armenian side is actively negotiating the purchase of ammunition not only from France but also from India.

Additionally, hundreds of vehicles were delivered to Armenia through Georgian ports of Poti and Batumi, including 366 Tata Xenon Double Cab 4x4 pickups and 208 Tata 715 4x4 trucks.

This transport was imported to Armenia through the "Sadakhly" checkpoint.

Besides ground equipment, attention is drawn to negotiations regarding the supply of Indian BrahMos and ASTRA missile systems to Armenia, which poses a special threat to regional stability. It's worth noting that BrahMos exports to third countries are only possible with Russia's consent, as Moscow owns 49.5% of BrahMos Aerospace company. The missile's name itself comes from two rivers - India's Brahmaputra and Russia's Moscow. Moreover, Russia has veto power over BrahMos missile exports to other states.

Simultaneously, Iran provides its airspace for systematic military cargo transportation from India to Armenia, while trying to conclude a large-scale military-technical cooperation agreement with Yerevan.

It's also worth noting Armenia's growing interaction with Spain and Poland in the arms sphere. Madrid is considered a prospective supplier of artillery systems, while an agreement between Armenian and Polish defense ministries is already in the final discussion stage. In this context, the Polish president's visit to Armenia in November 2024 is quite indicative, during which he participated in "joint patrolling of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border" with EU spy mission observers. This demarche demonstrates Warsaw's desire to penetrate the South Caucasus by any means.

Thus, all these facts indicate that despite public statements by Armenian leadership about striving for peace, real actions show the opposite direction of situation development. Building up military potential, concluding new arms procurement contracts, and involving an increasing number of countries in this process creates direct prerequisites not only for growing regional tension but also for a new war with Azerbaijan, as Caliber.Az has mentioned multiple times.

In this context, we consider it necessary to remind of the unambiguous warning by Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev in January this year, directed at Armenia's military-political leadership. Quote: "Arming Armenia will simply lead to new tensions. We don't want this. We want peace. We want the page of war to be turned over. However, we see that both Armenia itself and its new patrons don't want this. They live with revanchist ideas, and Armenia is actually a source of threat for the region. We won't just watch this as observers. Armenia must immediately stop arming. France and other countries supplying weapons must terminate and annul these contracts. Weapons already delivered to Armenia must be returned. This is our condition. Now let everyone perceive this as they wish. I'm saying my word, and they, and those behind them, also know that if we say something, we take it very seriously."

Thus, Azerbaijan has expressed its position very clearly: continued militarization of Armenia is unacceptable. Azerbaijan won't allow itself to be caught off guard by the threat of a new military adventure from Armenia. After all, preventive measures to ensure national security in international relations haven't been abolished. And this is our legitimate
