Armenia to continue arms exports, Pashinyan confirms long-term defense industry deals

Days after Armenia’s domestic defense industry shipments were announced, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that arms exports from the country would continue.

“Yes, there are deals, including long-term contracts, and those contracts will be implemented,” Pashinyan said at a press briefing.

Recently, Armenia’s Minister of High-Tech Industry, Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, announced that three companies had exported Armenian-made weapons worth millions of dollars to two countries, describing the process as “unprecedented.” He did not specify which companies carried out the exports, what types of weapons were shipped, or the recipient countries.
