SERGE SARGSIAN: WE ARE NOT GOING TO INCREASE ARMY'S BUDGET AT EXPENSE
OF EDUCATION, CULTURE AND OTHER SPHERES
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Armenia's
military budget will grow equally with the growth of the country's
gross national output. Serge Sargsian, RA Defence Minister, Secretary
of the National Security Council under RA President, informed
journalists about it during his visit to the Military College after
Monte Melkonian on the occasion of a new academic year. "3.5 percent
of this output will be our military budget. We are not going to
increase the army budget at the expense of education, culture and
other spheres," the Minister emphasized. Mentioning that the state has
been paying little attention to the Military College after Monte
Melkonian for the present, the Minister assured that this gap will be
filled up in the coming 1-2 years and the college will become a model
educational institution. Congratulating the college students on the
occasion of a new academic year, the Minister stressed that they have
the honor to study at the institution named after legendary Monte
Melkonian and gave assurance that many of them will become deserved
representatives of Armenian army's officers staff in the future.
