YEREVAN, APRIL 26, ARMENPRESS. The delegation led by Armenian Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan left for Russia on April 26 to participate in the 6th Moscow conference on international security.

As “Armenpress” was informed from the press service of the MoD Armenia, global and regional challenges, particularly terrorism and the tensions in the Korean peninsula  are the main topics of the conference that has already become a tradition. Other issues such as extremism and terrorism in the Middle East or informational security    are discussed on separate platforms.

In the sidelines of the conference Defense Minister Vigen Sargsyan held a number of bilateral meetings with his foreign counterparts. Particularly, Vigen Sargsyan had a meeting with Iran's Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics Hossein Dehghani during which issues of bilateral interest were discussed. A reference was made also to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The Defense Ministers of Armenia and Iran once again stressed that the conflict has no military settlement.

On the same day the Armenian Defense Minister met with his Serbian counterpart Zoran Đorđević. Emphasizing the common features of the Armenian and Serb people, the sides expressed conviction that it’s a wonderful precondition for deepening Armenian-Serbian relations. It was particularly mentioned that there is a great potential for cooperation in military-technical, scientific, military-medical, military educational and other directions. The joint peacekeeping mission was mentioned as an example of productive cooperation. The Defense Ministers of Armenia and Serbia agreed to activate interactions making discussions over bilateral partnership more subjective.
