Wow I wonder how Iran will take this. A major stab in the back to there Shia neighbour.

Good for us. The more pisrael dumps its crap into azerbaijan the more Iran will side with us. Also, everything that goes into azeristan it will be analyzed by the Iran spies network.

I'm surprised Azerbaijan even bought these. I believe these are not intended for us as they are only designed for short and medium range home made rockets. I mean they couldn't even take out home made rockets. How will they take out our ballistic missiles ? I believe this sale had nothing to do with us. I think it's an Israeli power play against Iran that "yes , you might have proxies in our neighbourhood, but we got one in yours. " That is good news for Armenia. They step on there own toes which is quite funny. Armenia just needs to follow Iran's example. Build underground tunnels and build an arsenal ..

Israel is to soon supply Azerbaijan with 'Iron Dome' air defense system.
According to 1news.az, MP Yevda Abramov said the system is ready for being delivered to Azerbaijan.
"This system will not allow Iskander rockets to fall on the ground," he said.

Who writes this stuff ? This system will not let Iskander Rockets fall on the ground. Hahaha ... Don't they know that Iskanders are not rockets but a missile.? Azeris need to know that the Iskander is a weapon that is self-propelled or directed by remote control, carrying conventional or nuclear explosive. It is not a rocket.

The likes of Shant prefer insults to thinking. There are very good reasons to suspect collusion on at least some levels regarding the April war and the lack of hostilities since then. I also saw the vid of the azeris pouring in while our side filmed it and did nothing to stop it. That is hard evidence there and not mere speculation but it is increasingly clear that todays generation does not value facts, evidence, reason,..it is all about "how I feel" This is the reason why the likes of Vrej are able to do so much damage because they do not need facts or real evidence to stir up the pot.
As for the new appointments I found a interesting article that seems to make some sense out of this situation and is worth a read;

YEREVAN, October 4. /ARKA/. Alexander Iskandaryan, the head of the Caucasus Institute, commenting on Monday’s appointment of Vigen Sargsyan as Armenian defense minister, said that the defense minister should be able to represent Armenia properly in western countries and to work intensively with Russia along with that.

In an interview with Novosti Armenia, Iskandaryan said that Armenia cooperates with Russia, buys ammunition mostly from Russia and in the Collective Security Treaty Organization it deals mainly with Russia.

“Vigen Sargsyan has experience in interaction with Russian politicians and military authorities,” he said. “The appointment of Vigen Sargsyan shows that this cooperation is taken seriously.”

Iskansaryan finds interesting also the appointment of Movses Hakobyan as chief of the General Staff of Armenian Armed Forces.

“This is a dream ticket,” he said in his interview. “It is clear that after the April escalation certain conclusions are being made and certain changes are being made in the defense ministry, just like in the entire defense scheme. They are connected with armament supply, the military parade on September 21, changes in personnel and changes of things on the border.”

Iskandaryan said that a classic western configuration has been used in these appointments – the minister is a political figure co-opted into the defense ministry by the political leadership, and on the other side, he is balanced by Movses Hakobyan, a lifetime military man.

In his opinion, the new minister has merits of a quite smart consensual person, who is able to accomplish certain functions, including those connected with negotiation processes, and this is very important. x

“On the other side, military building is an important part of the present security scheme, and training of specialists and officers is needed here as well, and the chief of the General Staff will be doing it,” Iskandaryan said.

Besides, he said, not only in the classic western picture, but also in the Armenian history, the military ministry’s civilian officials were quite successful.
As examples, Iskandaryan pointed out Vazgen Manukyan, Vazgen Sargsyan and Serzh Sargsyan and added that there is a serious sense in the well-known statement: “War is too important to be left to the generals”.

“After all, politicians’ mentality differs from that of military people – it is a little wider,” he said. --0---
