Is it true that Armenia and France will collaborate in the military sphere? Azerbaijani mass media outlets are very concerned about this question. 1NEWS.AZ reports that this is what Azerbaijani media asked the French Embassy in Baku and, according to the website, the embassy had trouble giving an answer.
"The French Embassy in Azerbaijan hasn't commented on the news of Armenian mass media according to which Minister of Defense of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan on 31 January declared that Armenia and France would collaborate in the military sphere during his visit to the French University in Armenia," reports the source.
"Ohanyan mentioned that the stage of studying the military relations was in progress and that there was already a bilateral agreement on the training of Armenian officers at the top military institutions in France. In addition, according to the Minister, the Armenian Embassy in France will have its military attaché, which will coordinate all the issues," reports 1NEWS.AZ.
