>Five years ago, Azerbaijani businessman Nasib Hasanov’s NEQSOL Holding bought Caucasus Online, which owns the 1,200-kilometer Caucasus Cable System running along the bottom of the Black Sea and connecting the region to Europe. This has fueled concerns about Azerbaijan’s influence over Armenia’s digital infrastructure. Starlink could disrupt this dynamic.
>”This will disable Azerbaijan’s capacity to shut down or slow down Armenia’s internet access during a time of conflict,” said Eric Hacopian, a prominent political analyst in Armenia. “Given the importance of the IT sector in Armenia, this kind of access is far more relevant to our economy than to our neighbors.”
The fact that Armenia didn’t think of this and attempt to buy this company before they did, is incompetency at insane levels. It’s such a huge security risk.
