ArmInfo. There are no fundamental disagreements between Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia Artak Davtyan and Minister of Defense David Tonoyan. This was announced on February 18 in an interview with reporters by Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia Artak Davtyan.
Davtyan emphasized that the Chief of the General Staff is subordinate to the Minister of Defense. “Often, some minor disagreements on the job are presented as serious disagreements. However, I can assure you, in case of serious disagreements, I would resign as a subordinate,” the head of the General Staff assured. He also noted that in everyday matters the minister always listens to advice. “I, as the Chief of the General Staff, present my approaches that may affect the adoption of a decision. This is quite natural, since the Minister of Defense is responsible for making these or those decisions,” Davtyan emphasized.
The Chief of the General Staff also touched on the situation associated with elite military units. According to the latter, they should not be in Armenia. “The army is working to prevent the emergence of such military units. But at the moment I would not want to disclose the details of these works,” Davtyan summed up the line. It should be noted that in recent days information has been circulating in the media that relations between the Chief of the General Staff and the Minister of Defense of Armenia have aggravated. According to media reports, they appeared in connection with the story of a tender for the supply of Russian weapons.
