Media review for October 3

The “Azerbaijan” newspaper writes that the 30-year occupation of the Azerbaijani territories by Armenia must end. Moreover, Armenia does not comply with any UN Security Council resolutions, and the 26-year-old OSCE mission does not bring any results either. The current war should write glorious pages of victory in the history of the country.

The website “Yenisabah.az” writes that Armenia, in addition to settling Lebanese Armenians in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, gathers mercenaries and representatives of terrorist groups in the region. Official Yerevan used this practice during the occupation of Azerbaijani territories. This time, according to the available information, Armenia has deployed special groups of PKK and ASALA in the regions adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh. All this speaks of the terrorist nature of Armenia, in which there are no volunteers willing to fight in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The website "Bizimyolinfo.az" cites the opinion of experts that Armenia does not have enough economic opportunities to fight Azerbaijan. Experts believe that the July events on the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan had an economic motive, since the economic crisis in Armenia is an option to divert the attention of society from problems. Armenia's desire to stop the war is explained by its lack of forces to conduct military operations. According to rough information, over the past few days Armenia has lost military equipment worth more than $ 1 billion. Military operations cost Armenia millions of dollars, but it does not have that kind of money. The economic potential of Azerbaijan exceeds the economic potential of Armenia three times, and from the point of view of the defense budget, four times. The defense budget of Azerbaijan is $ 2.3 billion, Armenia - $ 658 million, Armenia's strategic reserves - $ 2.6 billion, and Azerbaijan - $ 52 billion.

The website "Moderator.az" discusses with experts the statement of French President E. Macron about sending terrorist groups to Azerbaijan from Turkey, especially from Gaziantep. Experts called this statement irresponsible. How can a country taking such a position be a mediator in a conflict? Experts believe that France should abandon mediation. As for the joint statement of the heads of state of the OSCE Minsk Group, it was initiated by Macron and coordinated with Russia. -0-
