Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced on Tuesday that the Armenian army will unveil its new field and ceremonial uniforms during the military parade scheduled to take place on Republic Day, May 28, in Yerevan.

Speaking at a campaign event for the Civil Contract party in Tsaghkadzor, Kotayk Province, Pashinyan said the parade would showcase Armenia’s modernizing army and growing domestic defense industry.

“Our people will be in the mood to celebrate after that military parade because they will see their new army, with new uniforms and new military equipment. Some of the military equipment on display is foreign-made, but a very important part of it has also been produced in the Republic of Armenia,” Pashinyan said.
