The Russian Federation has sent invitations for participation to the whole world," as reports "Armenpress", this opinion was expressed by the Head of Department of Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Defense, Major General Vardan Avetisyan.

 Armenia was second in the newly introduced global military sporting event and was awarded a certificate for a new T-90 tank.
