Eduard Sharmazanov writes: “Who is the Turkish Secretary General of the OSCE to stick his nose into the affairs of the Armenian Church?”

OSCE General Secretary Feridun Sinirlioglu made a sincere confession. he thought he was talking to Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, but in reality he was talking to pranksters Vovan and Lexus.
The content of a common alleged phone call is generally as follows:

– I also expect the position of the OSCE that you can also support me in this matter.

– I will also deal with it. By the way, can you do that? Can you change the Catholicos?

– I think that now I have trump cards in my hands, and we can change the religion / they probably mean the head of the Church/. The only thing I can ask you for is your support in cases when we face great criticism from Karapetyan’s supporters.

“Okay, I’ll do everything possible.”

The Turkish Secretary General of the OSCE actually proves our hypothesis that the campaign against the Armenian Church and the Holy Father has at least the support of Turks and other foreign centers.

This is not an Armenian agenda, this is a hybrid war against RA and the values ​​of the Armenian people.

Sinirlioglu essentially acts within the framework of Bolton’s doctrine “Armenia must abandon its historical patterns”.

This is a direct interference in the internal affairs of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Church.

This act should be condemned by all political forces, society and why not the international community as well.

The question of dismissal of the OSCE Secretary General should be raised.

It is the OSCE that must condemn these words of its Secretary General, and if not, then it must be recorded that it is the den of a hybrid campaign against the Armenian people, the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Church.”

Gas technologist Armen Badalyan In other words, certain steps towards the consolidation of the opposition in Armenia after the elections, the arrest of the leader of the “Prosperous Armenia” party Gagik Tsarukyan and other internal political processes seem to be happening separately, but all these are different details of the same process.

“Why Gagik Tsarukyan? It is not the case that the PAP leader received the most votes during the elections and represents the greatest political threat to the ruling political force. Therefore, the arrest process of Gagik Tsarukyan should be considered in the context of Armenian-Russian relations.

In particular, it is no secret that last week at the “Edina Russia” party’s congress, the head of the party mentioned the name of Gagik Tsarukyan, stating that: “Violence is being carried out against the opposition in Armenia, the best example is the persecution of Gagik Tsarukyan.”

In other words, civil-“legal” processes are being carried out against Gagik Tsarukyan, parallel to which, Pashinyan is going to Russia to meet with Mishustin, trying to make this issue an object of political trade. He was trying to make it so that pro-Russian politicians can be released if Russia cancels economic restrictions on Armenia.” 168.amArmen Badalyan said in a conversation with

According to him, the Russian authorities are firm in their decision, and Nikol Pashinyan’s meeting with Mishustin also did not change anything, that is, the relevant structures of the Russian Federation did not cancel their decisions regarding restrictions on the export of goods.

“All this means that Nikol Pashinyan did not come to a common denominator with the Russian Prime Minister, that’s why the arrest process of Gagik Tsarukyan took place. Another big businessman, Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the “Strong Armenia” party, is also detained by this government.

We should look at the process of Gagik Tsarukyan’s arrest in the context of making that political trade, not in the context that he was a threat to the authorities, especially since he did not even have a deputy in the parliament,” stressed the civil technologist.

According to his observation, at the moment the three forces in the opposition field, the “Strong Armenia” party, the People’s Party of Armenia and the “Armenia” alliance, are united, other opposition forces will not unite with them. According to him, it is mainly these forces that can do any action.

“The internal political processes of Armenia should not be presented as purely internal Armenian processes, they are in the context of the ongoing struggle between Russia, the West, the EU, Great Britain. One front of the struggle is Ukraine, which has a military format, the second front is RA, which still has a political struggle format.

In all these processes, the RA economy suffers, which is exhausted and suffering losses. And as a result of all that, everyone will suffer. The reflection of all this was on May 30, the EAEU announcement, and the bell of all this will ring at the end of the year, on December 30. The Russian Federation will try to do everything in order to dismantle this government in Armenia, otherwise, most likely, Armenia will be pushed out of the EAEU, after which the Armenian economy will face collapse. Let’s not forget about gas, whose price increase will directly affect the economy,” emphasized Armen Badalyan.

I inform the public that I received a notice signed by the person holding the position of YSU Rector that I will stop teaching at YSU from September 1. Ruben Melikyan wrote about this.

“It is obvious to me that this decision is due to my human rights activity and public activity, because I was not presented and could not be presented with any consideration regarding the quality of teaching itself.

Despite my busy schedule, my decision to invest my money in the education of new generations at the University for decades was primarily determined by my moral obligation to my mother educational institution. Therefore, I finish my 23-year teaching job at the Mother University with a clear conscience and an open mind.

At the same time, I consider this decision of the person temporarily occupying the position of YSU rector as a manifestation of arbitrariness and illegality. It is a small drop in the monstrous program of “Azerbaijanization” of Armenia, an important component of which is the vetting of the scientific and educational system. In this regard, the decision made against me is neither the first nor, unfortunately, the last.

HG. I will naturally continue my educational and scientific activities. In the next few days, I will announce the date of the presentation of my monograph on Mkhitar Ghosh’s Armenian Judgment Book. I will soon hand over my work of about 6 years to the judgment of the reader, and you will see how similar the times are. At that time, too, people were fighting against the program of “de-Armenianization” of Armenia and were also subjected to various persecutions,” he wrote.

Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan message has spread, informing that large-scale military exercises with the participation of the Ground Forces of the country’s army have started, in which the “Commando” special purpose, motorized rifle, mechanized and artillery units, as well as the supply sector, are involved.

During the tactical military event, the tasks of bringing troops to combat readiness, transporting personnel and equipment by rail, transporting military units over long distances by road, including in conditions of limited visibility, were performed.

In addition to this, episodes of the capture of operational and combat regions, defense lines were also played.

Moreover, during the military exercise, taking into account the experience of the 44-day war in 2020 and the latest armed conflicts in the world, modern drones, radio electronic warfare, radio technical intelligence and high-precision weapon systems were also used.

   

Like a few days ago we reported in the aviation units of the Air Force of Azerbaijan were held training flights, during which Azerbaijan launched a fighter and attackers, target detection and hitting capabilities were tested.

In other words, the peace agenda with Armenia and, in general, the desire for peace in the region or the desire to avoid wars does not change Aliyev’s plans when it comes to the combat capabilities of his country’s armed forces. This once again confirms the famous saying: if you want peace, prepare for war.

Once upon a time, high-ranking European officials, when visiting Armenia, considered it their duty to inquire about the condition of detained persons, visit penitentiary institutions, and familiarize themselves with the conditions of detention.

Today, however, the situation is different.

Armenian prisons are full of political prisoners.

Almost every day we receive information that a criminal case has been initiated against this or that public or political figure, he has been arrested or detained, people are also deprived of their property rights.

As is known, Azerbaijan ordered JF-17C (Block III) fighters from Pakistan for the first time. military exercises implemented.

By making a reference to Pakistani sources, we wrote that before the 2025 military parade held in Baku, the JF-17C Block-III fighters of the Pakistan Air Force arsenal were brought to Azerbaijan in the context of the joint Azerbaijani-Pakistani Air Force exercise “Indus Shield Alpha”.

This information was later confirmed by Azerbaijanis as well the media, including standing close to the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan caliber.azthe

And the goal of the exercise was to improve cooperation, tactical coordination and operational compatibility between the air forces of the two countries. That is, this joint Azerbaijan-Pakistan exercise is focused on joint development, planning and mission execution of modern air combat tactics in the conditions of rapid technological development.

In addition, the Indus Shield Alpha military event has served as an important platform for sharing operational information and strengthening joint response capabilities in the event of potential air defense challenges.

More substantively, Baku considered the landing, evacuation, turn-around and other actions of fighters from Pakistan to Azerbaijan at its own base as part of the exercise important in terms of assessing the capabilities of the JF-17C Block-IIIs, which it expressed readiness to acquire.

That is, this allows decision makers to assess how fighter systems work within the national command and control architecture in interaction with existing air defense, reconnaissance and surveillance assets.

And, in fact, JF-17C fighters are already in the arsenal of the Air Force of the Azerbaijani Army.

According to Defense Security Asia, Baku’s decision to purchase JF-17 Block III fighter jets from Azerbaijan confirms the assessment that future regional conflicts will increasingly depend on the use of long-range air-to-air missiles, distributed targeting systems, high-precision strike capabilities and robustness to radio-electronic warfare, and not on outdated Soviet air combat doctrines.

And in this context, experts consider the acquisition of JF-17 fighter jets in the context of Pakistan-Azerbaijan-Turkey defense cooperation. Why?

We wrote a long time ago that taking into account the strategic relations between Pakistan, Azerbaijan and Turkey, it is possible that the Turkish air-to-air missiles Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan, which are still under evaluation, will be integrated into the fighters in the future.

Moreover, in March of this year, Azerbaijani sources had reported that Azerbaijan has ordered 40 units of the newest electro-optical targeting system ASELPOD from Turkey for JF-17 fighters, developed for combat aircraft.

The system allows you to detect and track long-range targets, determine their geographic location, and deliver accurate strikes.

Moreover, ASELPOD can be integrated with F-16 and unmanned aerial vehicles.

In other words, in the case of the JF-17 in Azerbaijan’s arsenal, we are dealing with the interaction of Turkish drone systems, ASELPOD targeting containers, tactical data transmission channels and a wider architecture of digital control of the battle space developed according to NATO standards and models.

In this context, let us recall that earlier we wroteTurkey’s military system was linked to NATO’s command and control system for 44 days.

“The use of F-16s, which revealed our entire air defense system… The military air force of that country is among the most developed military air forces in NATO member states. Why? Because they were one of the first countries to create a system of command, control, communication, intelligence management. And that military system, in turn, was interconnected with the NATO command and control system,” former RA Defense Minister Davit Tonoyan detailed in the Investigative Commission.

And a few more specialists episode are distinguished in connection with the new fighters added to the arsenal of Baku:

■ The JF-17 fighter, due to its compatibility with the Chinese PL-15E missile, is able to hit targets outside its direct line of sight.

■ The combat aircraft’s estimated range of 900 km allows for long-term air operations in wider areas of the Caspian Sea region without direct dependence on vulnerable front-line operational infrastructure.

■ The ability of the JF-17 fighter to integrate anti-ship missiles, including the C-802AK, in particular, will allow strengthening Baku’s ability to protect strategic maritime energy infrastructure in the Caspian Sea.

In other words, as Defense Security Asia observes, Baku is hinting at “broader lessons” learned from recent regional conflicts. Whether or not different specialists will allow some exaggerations in relation to this or that weaponry is not important in this case.

It is also a fact that after the 44-day war, Baku immediately has started the process of modernization of the country’s air force, especially with the help of Turkey. Let’s not forget the Su-25 bombers modernization equipped with Turkish SOM ŞAHİN cruise missiles, the flight range is more than 250 km.

Let’s return to the JF-17 fighters and draw attention to an important fact. according to various international professional platforms, The fighter jets purchased from Pakistan were deployed at the Nasosnaya (Arabic: Nasosnı aviabazası) military airbase, which is located not far from Sumgait city.

That is, in the context of the purchase of these fighters, Azerbaijan is carrying out large-scale construction and infrastructure modernization works. In particular, with different information՝ new hangars were built for the protection and maintenance of modern aircraft, and modern infrastructure was created.

In other words, in fact, an attempt is being made to make the Nasosnaya air base, equipped with fighter jets, one of the most important and best protected strategic facilities of the Azerbaijani Air Force.

168.ammonths ago had informed that the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, approved the changes in the law “On Expropriation of Land for State Needs”. According to the approved amendments, the expansion of state-owned airports and aerodromes, as well as the construction of new airports and aerodromes, have been added to the list of state needs for which land expropriation can be carried out.

To what extent the RA government takes note of the above, although, as we mentioned, the acquisition of JF-17 fighter jets by Baku has broad goals, we can only make assumptions. On the other hand, after the Yerevan military parade on May 28, to which had made flights Su-30s, international experts and had made certain records.

In particular, both Military Watch Magazine (MWM) and OSINT analysts (intelligence based on open sources) Iranian “Yasin” planing aerial bombs were noticed under the wings of the Su-30s in the arsenal of the RA Armed Forces.

By: open data, The Yasin high-precision bomb with a planning and correction module weighs 300 kilograms, the mass of the warhead is 225 kilograms, and it belongs to the MK-82 class.

The aerial bomb is designed for hitting stationary targets using GPS satellite navigation and inertial navigation systems.

According to available information, the range of the bomb under standard conditions is 50-60 kilometers, and in case of release or throwing from the optimal height, it can reach up to 120 kilometers.

In other words, Suren Papikyan promised Supplements for the Su-30s have arrived. But we should not forget that RA has only 4 Su-30, while there was an agreement to buy 8-12 units, which would require appropriate airfield and technical infrastructure. This has not been done. What Baku is doing, by the way, according to various reports, Aliyev intends to buy up to 40 units of JF-17 fighters.
