Armenian premier to display weapons purchased by Armenia after 2022  to everyone

ArmInfo.The Armenian authorities plan to present the weapons acquired in recent years to the public in the near future, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced while in Kapan as part of the ruling Civil Contract party's internal campaign.

"Two or three months ago, I made a statement that I would take  citizens who wanted to see what we had purchased and show them  everything. Several groups have already been invited and shown it,  but the number of people is so large that we came to the conclusion  that it needs to be shown to everyone, it needs to be shown  publicly," Pashinyan told the citizens.

He also emphasized that "this is being done with an emphasis on peace  and in the context of peace."

"There is peace, there are no tensions with our neighbors, and we  hope they will not perceive this as a demonstration of aggression."  We will report to our people, and this will happen, I think, in May:  we will show what we have acquired. Again, this is not preparation  for war, although yes, there was a time when we thought there would  be a war and prepared.

We will only show the weapons acquired during our reign, and  primarily after 2022.

Yes, there is peace now, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a  defensive army. Because without an army, there could be a temptation  to commit aggression against our country," Nikol Pashinyan said.
