Pashinyan claims Armenia’s military reforms "peaceful" Despite heavy armament deals

18 September 2024 16:06

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that Armenia's ongoing military reforms are not aimed at aggression.

Pashinyan emphasized that the country's military-technical collaborations and efforts to build a professional army are not meant to convey any aggressive intent, Caliber.Az reports citing Armenian media.

"We are engaged in military-technical cooperation with a range of countries and are in the process of developing a professional army. However, I assure you that these reforms do not carry any aggressive connotations," Pashinyan said.

The announcement follows Armenia's recent defence deals, including a contract with France for the purchase of Caesar self-propelled howitzers and becoming the largest buyer of Indian arms. The Indian Ministry of Defence revealed that Armenia’s arms purchases from India for the fiscal years 2024-2025 will amount to $600 million, covering missiles, artillery systems, air defence systems, and other military equipment.

Additionally, on September 14, it was reported that Russia had begun shipping a substantial quantity of missiles to Armenia for the Smerch multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS).
