    Public Television of Armenia
    Oct 9 2009

    The Armenian Defence Ministry has submitted to the government a plan
    of action on neutralizing possible negative factors connected with
    the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border, Mediamax news agency
    quoted Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan as saying on 9
    October. Speaking at a session on army reform in Yerevan, the minister
    commented on the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties
    saying that "the Armenian president undertook brave steps in this
    regard", the agency reported.

    The Armenian top brass met on 9 October to discuss defence reforms
    carried out in 2009 and to hold consultations on possible emergencies
    in 2010, state-owned Armenian Public TV reported on the same
    day. National Security Council Secretary Artur Baghdasaryan said at
    the meeting that the implementation of reforms in the military sphere
    would be also conditioned by Armenia's international commitments,
    TV reported. Defence Minister Ohanyan said that certain changes
    had been made to the planned reforms, which would be discussed and
    submitted to President Serzh Sargsyan for approval, Armenian Public
    TV said. "We will adopt a policy - reforms are already necessary,
    because the armed forces reached such a stage of development that
    relevant changes should be made so that we are able to implement
    further development," Ohanyan said on Public TV.
