The two South Caucasus nations, former Soviet states, have fought multiple wars since the 1980s when Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnically Armenian region broke away from Azerbaijan.
New Delhi: Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has slammed the sale of Indian-made arms to Armenia, while also questioning their quality. This comes amid a...

Just because Armenia did not further orders, the author assumes that it may buy weapons from USA, France, Greece and even Turkey. Turkey? What an absurd assumption! There is no report that India is not maintaining good relations with Armenia and Greece. The author has written some good articles in the past. But I doubt her mindset, her geopolitical approach as in many articles she sees bad omen for India.
This is perhaps the most brilliant, incisive and super spot-on analysis I’ve read in a long time. A region which is largely neglected in the Indian narrative but one that holds immense geostrategic potential, so lucidly explained with all the prop roots covered. Full marks to Dr. Rao and to The Print.
