🇦🇲🇦🇿 - 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.

Soloviev also promoted the channel in a post he shared on his own Telegram, which has 580,000 followers. The post recommended his viewers subscribe to "War on Fakes" in a time of fake news. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup. "The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. "We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said. But the Ukraine Crisis Media Center's Tsekhanovska points out that communications are often down in zones most affected by the war, making this sort of cross-referencing a luxury many cannot afford.
