Azerbaijan, which spends billions on weapons, has demanded that Armenia “put an end to the policy of armament and militarization in the region,” Haqqin.az reports.

Press secretary of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizade made remarks after images allegedly showing French weapons en route to Armenia leaked online.

According to Hajizade, France’s sending of military equipment to Armenia will contribute to “destructive activities” in the region.

“Armenia and France must put an end to the policy of armament and militarization in the region, and also come to terms with the fact that there is no alternative to peace and cooperation in the region,” the spokesperson said.
