The draft budget submitted to the Armenian parliament for the defense
envisages $405 mln, which is almost 6% higher than 2011. This was
stated by Armenia’s Defense minister Seiran Iganyan. Most of this
amount will be targeted for structural changes and more soldiers in
the Armenian army. A certain part will go to modernizing arms and
military technology. However there are no increases of salaries in
the Armenian defense segment envisaged so far.
