STATE UNIVERSITY DISCUSSES SECURITY STRATEGIC PLAN
Yerevan State University (YSU) scientific board
discussed today national security strategic plan. `We
hold discussions to consider expert opinion,' Serzh
Sargsyan, defense minister and YSU management board
chairman, told reporters today.
Some experts believe the plan is too descriptive.
Others think, `It is a result of hard work.' There was
an opinion that Armenia should concentrate its
diplomatic efforts on Russia, USA, Iran and France.
Speaking about Armenian budget on military, Sargsyan
said he is against of taking money away from oligarchs
and giving to military. He believes shadow e economy
must be eliminated but this does not mean that only
oligarchs must pay taxes.
Speaking about US Defense Minister Donald Ramsfeld's
resignation, Sargsyan said, `It is an administration
issue of USA and Mr. Ramsfeld personally,' also saying
this issue has nothing to do with the security
strategic plan of Armenia.
The plan will be approved next year. However, not the
parliament but the government will approve it.
Sargsyan said the strategy is `the political program
of authorities.' /Panorama.am/
