Armenia does not have any intention of aggression against any country. Armenia's intention is only modernizing its own defense capabilities, modernizing the defense system as a whole and here the equipment brought not only from India but also elsewhere as well has the intention of having a better army with better defensive capabilities, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said in an interview to WION leading Indian media outlet.
“Obviously, defense is one of the directions, one of the areas where we have very close cooperation with India and I suppose this cooperation will continuously be deepened. But what I would like to mention is that this cooperation and specifically trade of some specific equipment made in India and bought by Armenia is not intended to be used or however in any other sense, it's not against any other third party,’’ said Mirzoyan.
Foreign Minister Mirzoyan reiterated that Armenia has a peace agenda and is engaged in peace negotiations with its eastern neighbor.
“Generally,Armenia remains focused on establishing peace, ensuring stability, and normalizing relations with its neighbors,” he said.
“We are in the middle of the process of reforming our defense sector, reforming our army, modernizing our army, and here the Indian experience in some specific areas as well as the equipment made in India are of interest to us. But again, this is for reforming the Armenian defense system, and there is no intention to use these systems against any other third party,’’ concluded the Foreign Minister.
