Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that the guarantee of Armenia’s security and peace is a strong, defense-capable military.
“Our military is needed first and foremost for peace,” Pashinyan said during a campaign event for the Civil Contract party in Hrazdan, Kotayk Province. “We are preparing for peace because we understand that a strong, defense-capable army is very important for peace. A country without a strong, defense-capable army can be an attractive target for aggression. Therefore, we must always have a strong, defense-capable army whose task should be the protection of Armenia’s internationally recognized territory. And this is the guarantee of security and peace; this is the guarantee that we will pass our state from generation to generation,” Pashinyan said.
