French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna says Paris has agreed to deliver military equipment to Armenia given the country’s need to defend itself following Azerbaijan’s invasion of Nagorno Karabakh on September 19.
The statement also constitutes an attempt to justify the acts committed by those who are now under arrest,” Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry responded.
News.az writes that Alov Safaraliyev, Harutyunyan’s court appointed lawyer, says the former Artsakh president’s physical and psychological condition is “normal.”
Top U.S. and European Union officials secretly met with their Russian counterparts in Turkey just days before Azerbaijan launched a military offensive on September 19 to take control of Nagorno Karabakh, this according to Politico.
The Azerbaijani press reports that Aliyev has backed out of the meeting over “destructive statements” made by French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna during her trip this week to Yerevan.
The Islamic Republic News Agency writes Baqeri made the announcement following his meeting today in Tehran with Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan.
