What happened to Armenia’s military resources before the 2020 war?
Full story
Armenia spent years attributing its 2020 war defeat to external factors. The country pointed to military support provided to Azerbaijan by Türkiye, Pakistan, and Israel. It also mentioned alleged support from some European and African nations not directly involved in the conflict. These explanations were used instead of addressing the actual state of its own military capabilities.
For years, Armenia sought to explain away its defeat in the 2020 war by pointing to military support for Azerbaijan from Türkiye, Pakistan and Israel, as well as from alleged European and African countries with no direct involvement in the conflict, rather than confronting the realities of its own military capabilities.
