Yerevan thanks Paris for drones

Armenian Interior Minister Vahe Ghazaryan thanked French Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Anne Louillot for providing French drones to the Armenian police.

Paris handed over to Yerevan modern drones for surveillance, which have the ability to stay in the air for a long time at an altitude of up to 12 kilometres and transmit photos and video footage with high accuracy, Caliber.Az reports.

Armenian and French defence cooperation has heated up in the past year. In October 2022, France appointed a permanent defence attaché to Yerevan tasked with increasing French-Armenian military cooperation. This May, Paris supplied Yerevan with 50 armoured personnel carriers. Three weeks ago, 170 French parliamentarians and other elected officials called on the government to provide more military support to Armenia.
