Azerbaijani Cargo Flights from Arms Supplier Israel Continue

Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev and his minions regularly complain about the military supplies provided by third countries to Armenia.
Recently, for example, Aliyev announced that Baku cannot sit by idly while France, India and Greece arm Armenia. He said these states “do it openly and demonstrably, trying to thus prove something to Baku.”
Armenia and its military suppliers counter these statements by arguing that every country has the right to have an army and arm itself for defense.
Azerbaijan, which does not miss opportunities to raise such unfounded hysteria, certainly does not talk about its own military imports.
Armenian PM Pashinyan in an April 22 interview with British journalists said the following:
“As I have repeatedly said that no country can challenge the right of another country to have a combat ready army and I think having a strong army is sometimes used for war, but having such an army is also important for peace, for balancing the powers. That’s also the reason why when Azerbaijan raises those questions, referring particularly to Armenia’s acquisition of weapons, which is not more than 15-20% of Azerbaijan’s acquisitions in terms of cost and volume, and our acquisitions are mostly of defensive nature, we respond to those statements.”
In March 2023, the Israeli daily Haaretz wrote that between 2016 and 2023 Azerbaijani cargo planes landed at least 92 times at Israel’s Ovda air base, the only one where explosives may be flown into and out of the country.
