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.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
