The draft state budget of Armenia makes provisions for reduction of the
money allocated for defense. The country plans to allocate 22% less for
defense than in 2009. Thus, whereas in 2009 defense expenses amounted
to 149 billion drams ($1 is equivalent to 383 Armenian drums), in
2010 the government planned to allocate 116 billion drums for defense.
