🇦🇲🇦🇿 - 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.

Groups are also not fully encrypted, end-to-end. This includes private groups. Private groups cannot be seen by other Telegram users, but Telegram itself can see the groups and all of the communications that you have in them. All of the same risks and warnings about channels can be applied to groups. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted. Stocks dropped on Friday afternoon, as gains made earlier in the day on hopes for diplomatic progress between Russia and Ukraine turned to losses. Technology stocks were hit particularly hard by higher bond yields. 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. Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones.
