Vucic said it is not an African country, see the third quote and link. I’m pretty sure Algeria is located in Africa? And is there any other source saying it’s Algeria apart from Algerian twitter accounts? Because even in their case it was a guess based on Algeria’s reported interest previously...

Possible sale of 48 Nora B52 howitzers to Azerbaijan. Serbian president Vucic said in September 2023 that Serbia was going to sign a defence industry contract worth at least 300 million (eur?) with Azerbaijan. He described this as “largest contract for Serbian defence industry”. “Yes, Serbia...

That is his personal opinion, how did you decide that Azerbaijanis collectively support Israel? When it comes to state level, Azerbaijan supports two-state solution with East Jerusalem as Palestinian capital, and also officially recognizes Palestinian state. What I think you should rather ask...

Border Guards have been allocated ~ $300 million in 2023 state budget, so I don’t understand your question? You can see how much Azerbaijan recieved in the link I posted, including for 2018 and 2019. And the categories.

Here are the figures for all countries. https://www.foreignassistance.gov/cd Azerbaijan recieved ~ $16 million in 2022. According to @Bozan, Azerbaijani government relies on this money to fund “Everything from police and border guard funding, military training, private sector investment...

Azerbaijan never wanted a “sovereign control of a corridor through Armenia”, but an unobstructed road connection between mainland Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan exclave was stipulated in the ceasefire statement. Armenia insisted on border checkpoint contrary to the agreement, which btw was what...

What is your source on your claim, that “Aliyev” don’t spend money on mentioned fields? How are the quoted figures ($800 million over 20 years?) in your post “critical”? For context, Azerbaijan had export revenues of $41 billion in 2022.

The source is Arie Egozi, who is a reputable defence industry reporter from Israel. 2 months ago he reported about the demonstration of Barak MX in Azerbaijan, adding that it would lead to a contract soon: “The recent demonstration of the Israel Aerospace Industries' (IAI) Barak MX air defence...

You do know that there is no longer a “Lachin corridor” since 23 April 2023, right? It’s Lachin road for all intents and purposes, with an Azerbaijani border checkpoint. Btw, even Russian peacekeepers are inspected when crossing in either direction. Both individually and their vehicles and cargo.

There is “Nakhchivan combined arms army” with 25-30 thousand soldiers. (Naxçıvan Əlahiddə Ümumqoşun Ordu)

Read what I wrote again, and also the comment I replied to. - I did not say India supplied free weapons - I have seen some absolutely unhinged Indian takes on the topic, that is far from the worst one.

I’m not aware of Turkey supplying weapons for free to Azerbaijan. Looking on twitter too, it seems like Indians talk about something they have zero clue. One Indian suggested that India should provide a “$1 billion loan to Armenia to change the balance”. Azerbaijan’s annual budget for arms...
