Lol, they aren't helping them. They helped them. They provided advisers and some training. Nothing too insane. Azeri government most likely payed for it via Turkish connections. As we have seen with Afghanistan, advance training doesn't always stick

Its really nothing to worry about. As long as we train our special forces even harder, and send them on combat and covert missions regularly. If you read the previous pages you would be aware that they are taking part in combat operations within Azeri trenches.

Hell, I even suggest sending some of them to active warzones, get as much combat experience as possible





Hyefighter, can you please give me a source for this information? I am very interested in hearing about it and I will appreciate a link. Could you also provide a source for the BMP1/BMP2 modernization? Thank you

Thanks. Considering that the information on the barrel is not backed by a reliable source, I think its safe to assume that the K-3 might be sitting in a crate awaiting approval

Eddo, remember when you mentioned sanctions against Azerbaijan?

STRASBOURG—The European Parliament this week adopted a resolution with an overwhelming majority condemning the persecution of human rights defenders in Azerbaijan, and calling for targeted sanctions against Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s regime and visa bans against some who are directly responsible for oppression in the country.

Azerbaijan was harshly criticized by members of the European Parliament, who stressed the absurd reality of Azerbaijan currently holding the rotating presidency of the Council of Europe’s Council of Ministers—an institution upholding values of human rights and freedom—while “in the last few years the general human rights climate in Azerbaijan has been deteriorating, with a major escalation of government repression, pressure, and intimidation directed at NGOs, civil society activists, journalists, and human rights defenders.”

Parliamentarian Marie-Christine Vergiat (Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, France) said that the impunity of Azerbaijan and the Aliyev regime should stop, that the EU should not be focused on oil and gas only, and that the Association Agreement with Azerbaijan should not go on. Parliamentarian Alexander Graf Lambsdorff (Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, Germany) stressed the gruesome reality facing civil society in Azerbaijan, after the authoritarian regime’s continuous and brutal crackdowns based on fabricated and politically motivated charges. It was also mentioned how a few months earlier, Aliyev had called his critics liars from the podium of the Council of Europe and had rejected any sort of criticism, despite the deteriorating situation in Azerbaijan.

The European Parliament “deplores the actions taken by the Azerbaijani government to curb contacts between civil society and youth activists and intellectuals from Armenia and Azerbaijan, since these contacts are of major importance for bridging the long-standing hostility between the two countries; in this regard, recalls the important work done in this area by Leyla Yunus and her husband Arif,” states the resolution.

It also stresses that the European Parliament’s consent to the signing of a partnership agreement with Azerbaijan will be conditional on the satisfactory implementation of the above-mentioned requirements, the release of human rights defenders, the withdrawal of legislation restricting the operations of an independent civil society, and the cessation of repression and intimidation of NGOs, independent media, opposition forces, human rights defenders, and youth and social network activists. Members of the European Parliament stressed that Azerbaijan should be held accountable for its actions at home, and that promotion of human rights should be an inseparable part of the foreign policy of the EU.

The resolution highlights the fact that the EU-Azerbaijan human rights dialogue has made no substantial progress; calls on the European External Action Service (EEAS) to step up this dialogue, aim for results, and to report regularly to parliament; and calls on the EU Council and member states to urge the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to call on Azerbaijani authorities to stop the crackdown on activists, and make it clear that it expects the country, as hosts of the European Olympic Games to be held next year, to uphold the Olympic Charter’s requirement to respect press freedoms.

Most importantly, the European Parliament recalls its position of May 24, 2012, and calls on the EU Council to consider the possibility of targeted sanctions against those responsible for human rights violations, should these persist.

Kaspar Karampetian, the president of the European Armenian Federation for Justice and Democracy (EAFJD), said that the European Union is finally speaking up against the oppressive regime in Baku, and that the intervention is in the right direction. “We welcome this resolution of the European Parliament—a resolution that upholds the real values of the European Union, while stressing the necessity of sanctions against the regime in Baku. Human rights should be considered in all aspects of foreign policy; and energy flow to Europe should not blind the EU to breaches of human rights and fundamental freedoms,” said Karampetian, adding that “real democracy in Azerbaijan and respect to the right of self-determination of peoples is the only key to solving the long-standing conflict with Nagorno-Karabagh, and a peaceful co-habitation in the South Caucasus.”

Does anyone have any info on our Air Force? Lol getting tired of seeing 15 SU 25s, even though they are amazing.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Chubs don't hold your breath......calling for strong sanctions is one thing and actually going through with it, with the same outrage, is another thing. It normally gets brushed under the carpet.

AK105 Armenian Airforce's primary roll is ground troupes support......thats it. They might engage Azeri SU-25s if visual but you still can't abondon ground troupes under fire.
anything beyond that would come from the top like orders to take out certain targets......but we just don't have enough birds.
