The reaction from official Baku to the Armenia-France military-technical cooperation caused confusion. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Armenia emphasized in a statement issued on June 19 that it is the sovereign right of every state to maintain combat-capable armed forces equipped with modern military assets. This response comes amidst criticisms from Azerbaijan regarding the cooperation between Armenia and France in the military-technical domain.​

"The Republic of Armenia recognizes the territorial integrity and inviolability of the borders of all its neighbors. Armenia and Azerbaijan, on the highest level, agreed that they mutually recognize the territorial integrity and sovereignty of each other based on the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration. The Republic of Armenia is loyal to this principle and does not have any ambitions beyond its internationally recognized 29 thousand 743 square kilometers. The Republic of Armenia has practically proven this approach by the initiative of conducting delimitation in four villages of the Gazakh Region of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Tavush Region of the Republic of Armenia. We call on Azerbaijan to cease the occupation of vital territories of more than 30 villages of the Republic of Armenia.Azerbaijan's practice of predicting regional escalations at every opportunity is alarming and comes to prove the analyses made by a number of centers that Azerbaijan will do everything to disrupt the process of concluding a peace agreement with Armenia in order to launch a new aggression against the Republic of Armenia after the COP29 summit in Baku in November 2024,” the statement added. 

The Armenian MFA pointed out to the international community that Baku had not responded to Yerevan’s official offer to finalize the peace agreement within one month.
