Tomorrow, the second meeting in the “3+3” format will be held in Tehran, the capital of Iran, with the participation of foreign ministers, Azernews reports with reference to Iran’s media outlets.

The US, Japan, and South Korea were set to conduct a joint air military exercise near the Korean peninsula on Sunday, weeks after the three countries carried out their first three-nation naval interdiction drills in seven years.

Azerbaijan’s State Security Service has revealed a disturbing revelation involving electronic devices left behind by separatists in Karabakh. These devices were employed to generate radio interference that posed a significant threat to civilian aircraft, including those operated by Azerbaijan Airlines CJSC and foreign carriers, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting Turan, citing a statement issued by the State Security Service.

Prior to Azerbaijan’s successful restoration of control over the entire Karabakh region, the Ministry of Defense reported a troubling pattern of radio interference against GPS satellite navigation systems of passenger aircraft in the country’s airspace from 2021 to 2023. The sources of this interference were traced to the territory of Karabakh, which was under the control of Armenian separatists and the peacekeeping forces of the Russian Federation. Despite mounting evidence, the separatists consistently denied any involvement in orchestrating the radio interference, which jeopardized the safety of air traffic.

A significant breakthrough came in September 2023 when a special operation uncovered a cache of Russian-made electronic warfare systems, including the “Field-21M,” “Repellent-1,” and improvised electronic warfare complexes, discreetly installed in Karabakh.

Investigations by specialists revealed that the “Field-21M” system was employed to limit signals from satellite navigation systems such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and others to objects located within a radius of up to 150 kilometers. The primary purpose of this interference was to disrupt navigation systems and potentially endanger the safety of aircraft.

The “Repellent-1” complex, on the other hand, was designed for detecting and tracking control signals and data transmissions of radio communications from air objects within a range of up to 35 kilometers. It had the capacity to interfere with the operation of control and navigation systems, posing a serious threat to aviation security.

In addition to these sophisticated systems, artisanal electronic warfare installations were also uncovered, and deployed to suppress signals emanating from GPS and GLONASS navigation satellites and generate radio interference.

This revelation underscores the intricate challenges faced by authorities in the region and serves as a stark reminder of the risks posed to civilian aviation by the covert use of advanced electronic warfare technologies.

Azerbaijan expects the international community to encourage Armenia to strictly abide by its international obligations, cease and desist from disinformation and misinformation, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United Nations Tofig Musayev said in a statement at the UN Security Council open debate on the theme “Peace through dialogue: the contribution of regional, subregional and bilateral arrangements to the prevention and peaceful resolution of disputes”, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting Trend.

He noted that Azerbaijan’s experience of nearly thirty years of occupation of its sovereign territories by neighboring Armenia, in blatant violation of the UN Charter, international law and the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, is an illustration and reminder of the need to do much more at the regional and international levels to confront the misinterpretation of international law and to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States.

“At this critical juncture, we expect the international community to encourage Armenia to strictly abide by its international obligations, cease and desist from disinformation and misinformation and engage faithfully in efforts to build peace and stability in the region,” he said.

Deputy Permanent Representative said that attempts by some non-regional States to impose the experience of their colonial past and present on the South Caucasus and expand their xenophobic policies in the region, including by arming Armenia and supporting its hate propaganda, do not serve peace.
