Armenian Defense Minister Suren Papikyan reaffirmed to lawmakers on Friday that the military continued its arsenal modernization efforts throughout 2025.

He made the comments at a parliamentary committee hearing on the Defense Ministry’s 2025 performance report under the 2021–2026 government program.

“Thanks to the contracts signed as part of the diversification of military-technical cooperation, work toward the modernization of weapons and military equipment, as well as the acquisition of new models, continued throughout 2025,” Papikyan said.

He added that in 2025, exhibitions of the acquired and domestically produced weapons and military equipment were organized for the public in Armenia.
