Azerbaijan is angry about France's sale of hardware and weapons to its rival Armenia. It's been quiet so far on Georgia's role in facilitating the transaction.
Armenia is increasingly keen on Western mediation while Azerbaijan prefers to see the issue settled with the participation of regional powers like Russia and Turkey.
Azerbaijan's state oil company, SOCAR, will receive a $1.5 billion loan from Russia's Lukoil as part of a deal to supply crude oil to SOCAR's oil refinery in Turkey.
Armenia doesn't trust Azerbaijan's recent actions and rhetoric indicating that it's deprioritizing its ambition for a corridor through Armenia to its exclave Nakhchivan.
