Armenia abandoned its priority military partnership with Russia
Armenia can no longer, as before, be a military partner of Russia. This was stated by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.
“We need to understand with whom we should develop military and military-technical cooperation. In the past there was no such question, just as there were no difficulties with the concept. In the past, Armenia's defense relations were 97% related to Russia. Now this cannot happen due to objective and subjective reasons,” Pashinyan said.
According to him, it is necessary to understand what kind of relations to build in this direction with India, Iran, the USA, France and the Russian Federation. By the end of the year, Yerevan will adopt a new concept for the development of the army, in which it will review interaction with other states and set out an idea of who and how the country should cooperate in the defense sector, Pashinyan said.
