Armenia’s new military doctrine will be drawn up soon, following consultations with Russia, NATO and the US, according to the PanARMENIA news agency. Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan announced that the new doctrine will be discussed in the National Assembly and National Security Council before it is submitted to the president for ratification in December. “We will receive consultations until the end of October and then the draft doctrine will be introduced to the government,” Harutyunyan stated at an expert and public debate at the Institute of National and Strategic Studies hosted by the Defense Ministry. He added that foreign experts helped the Defense Ministry construct a military doctrine that is specific to Armenia’s situation. “We did not aim to imitate models of other states. We have developed a document that would meet our demands and peculiarities and would be comprehensible for the international community,” he said. |
