Armenian blogger Vahe Aghajanyan sparked controversy by asserting that Azerbaijani officials exhibit higher levels of professionalism compared to their Armenian counterparts.

"Azerbaijan at all levels, starting from the head of the country and ending with a mid-level official, has cadres several heads higher than Armenia's," Aghajanyan wrote on Facebook, Caliber.Az reports.

He highlighted concerns over the qualifications and capabilities of Armenian officials, implying a stark contrast with Azerbaijani counterparts.

"It is no secret that current Azerbaijani officials are more qualified and professional than Armenian officials, who in many cases did not even have a biography before taking office," Aghajanyan noted. He expressed apprehension over the representation of Armenia in diplomatic negotiations and the responsibility of officials for national security.

The blogger further criticized Armenia's military preparedness, particularly highlighting concerns about the effectiveness of military exercises. "Watching some footage of military exercises of the Ministry of Defense and once again convinced that we are all in the sh*t," he stated bluntly. Aghajanyan criticized the outdated scenarios of military drills, emphasizing the need for more modern and strategic approaches.

"The so-called elite of the army are clueless," Aghajanyan lamented, emphasizing the absence of effective leadership within Armenia's military ranks. He expressed deep concern over the potential consequences of inadequately prepared armed forces in the event of conflict, painting a grim picture of potential casualties and vulnerabilities.

"Well how to explain that the times of such fights are gone, the 1940s will not return, stop this circus and do something serious,” the blogger said.

"That is, God forbid a war starts, the children of the Armenian people again with helmets on their heads, with assault rifles should go to fight with UAVs and heavy artillery, becoming just cannon fodder," Aghajanyan concluded, highlighting the mismatch between Armenia's military capabilities and the evolving nature of modern warfare.
