We are carrying out military-technical cooperation with various countries. And we are also creating a professional army," Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan said at the Global Armenian Summit.
He also responded to statements made in Azerbaijan about Yerevan’s arms acquisitions from France.
“You know what’s interesting? They say the West is arming Armenia. Excuse me, but Azerbaijan is buying weapons from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, since when aren’t these countries the West? Why can Azerbaijan buy weapons from Italy, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Armenia can’t buy weapons from France? Why can Azerbaijan buy weapons from Pakistan and Armenia can’t do so from India?” Pashinyan stated.
Pashinyan reiterated that the Armenian military reforms don’t have any aggressive subtext.
