Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWirePARIS - France is helping Armenia to improve its air defence capacity with the sale of three radars and an agreement on the future delivery of Mistral anti-air missiles, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Monday.
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev said this month that France's decision to send military aid to Armenia could trigger a new conflict in the South Caucasus. The two ministers signed off on the sale of three Thales-made GM 200 radars, which France has also provided to Ukraine, and signed a memorandum of understanding on the future delivery of France's Mistral short-range air defence system.
It was Papikyan's second visit to France since Azerbaijani forces on Sept. 20 captured Nagorno-Karabakh, which is internationally viewed as part of Azerbaijan but had been run by ethnic Armenians since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
