ArmInfo.Discontent continues to be heard from Baku about the military-technical  cooperation of Armenia with other states.

This time, the Azerbaijani top leadership expressed dissatisfaction  with the trilateral interaction that has developed between Armenia,  Cyprus and Greece. Thus, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev,  accepting the credentials of the newly appointed Ambassador of Greece  to Azerbaijan, Nikolaos Piperigkos, noted that Baku is concerned  about military cooperation between Armenia, Greece and Cyprus.  In  this regard, Aliyev reminded the diplomat that two years ago the  European Union and Azerbaijan initialed a document entitled  "Partnership Priorities": "In it, the European Union supports the  territorial integrity, sovereignty of Azerbaijan and the  inviolability of its internationally recognized borders," the  Azerbaijani leader said.

And moving away from the topic of the conversation, he did not fail  to once again accuse the Armenian side of aggression. "In a word,  Armenia is the enemy of Azerbaijan, and this was their decision. Of  course, close military cooperation between Armenia and any country  causes concern. You are probably aware of our reaction to the  intensive supply of weapons from Russia to Armenia immediately after  Armenia's provocation at the border. the clashes stopped on July 16,  and starting from July 17 until yesterday - yesterday was the last  flight - there were numerous cargo flights from Russia to Armenia  through the airspace of the Caspian states. I say this not only to  you. We raised this issue with our Russian partners :  military  cooperation with Armenia is of concern to us, because it poses a  significant threat to Azerbaijan, because using these weapons, they  kill our military personnel, civilians, "Aliyev said about the sore  point.  Then, remembering that he was talking with the Greek, not the  Russian ambassador, the President of Azerbaijan, in particular, said:  "This trilateral format of cooperation worries us. Of course, each  country does what it considers right. Therefore, we do not stand on  the position of blocking or preventing it in one form or another.  However, I think it is good that you hear about our concern from me,  and I explain why this happened.
