The Armenian authorities are actively discussing the issue of reducing the military budget. Recently, two discussions have already been held: one in the government, and the other in the Ministry of Defense. This is reported by the 168․am edition.
“We are talking about tens of billions of drams, the interested persons are Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan, Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan, Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister Arsen Torosyan. Tigran Avinyan even remarked to the representatives of the Ministry of Defense:” Anyway, you missed it. Why do you need such a budget? “, – the message says.
According to the newspaper, the Armenian Defense Ministry has claims and disagreements over the reduction of the military budget, which, in fact, have not been taken into account and will not be taken into account.
“What reforms we are talking about in this case, one can only guess. On the other hand, it is assumed that the reforms will be adapted to the reduced military budget,” writes 168․am.
