🇦🇲🇦🇿 - Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev is mad at the armament of Armenia with "lethal weapons" increasing at an "alarming pace", citing France as a chief actor, as well as accusing the United States of secretly also supplying Armenia.
To give a brief background, Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh won the 1994 Nagorno-Karabakh war when Azerbaijan was still an infantile state. After decades of economic expansion chiefly based around Caspian sea oil, armament and foreign support, namely by Turkey, Israel, and Pakistan, as well as Turkey providing ample ground support with SNA mercenaries from Syria who were reportedly treated as cannon fodder, Azerbaijan came into ascendancy and occupied Artsakh.
As Armenia militarily recovers and expands, in the coming years it can once again pose a major threat to Azerbaijan and perhaps even retake Artsakh and more. In an age where invasions and territorial changes have started becoming the norm since the war in Ukraine, this is looking ever more likely.

Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Individual messages can be fully encrypted. But the user has to turn on that function. It's not automatic, as it is on Signal and WhatsApp. As such, the SC would like to remind investors to always exercise caution when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those promising unrealistically high returns with little or no risk. Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government.
