On April 29, Secretary of the RA National Security Council Artur
Baghdasaryan held a meeting with the managers of 39 enterprises
cooperating with the RA Ministry of Defense. The participants discussed
the problems of Armenia's military-industrial complex and ways of
resolving them.
RA President Serzh Sargsyan signed a decree forming an interagency
commission for the military-industrial complex chaired by Artur
Baghdasaryan. He pointed out that the commission is supposed to
elaborate a concept of developing the country's military-industrial
complex and a state program of developing the industry.
"The National Security Council conducted serious surveys to get
information on the development of the military-industrial complex in
other states. The developed countries in West Europe spend 10 to 15
per cent of their budgets on their military-industrial complex, as it
means ensuring the development and modernization of other industries.
High importance was attached to the development of the
military-industrial complex in the Soviet Union. The enterprises also
produced consumer goods. Our surveys show Armenia has a potential. We
have to make right calculations to achieve results," he said.
Summing up the results, Baghdasaryan pointed out the importance of
analyzing the problems and finding the right ways of resolving them.
"Our meetings with representatives of Russian and Belarusian companies
are producing the first fruits. We have signed preliminary agreements
on developing ties between military-industrial enterprises of Armenia
and other states. Armenian and Russian Security Councils set up a task
group to ensure progress in this field. I am sure we will be able to
reach progress in several fields within a year," Baghdasaryan said.
