Armenia,Russian Federation : ARMENIA and RUSSIA to joint arms production
Armenia and Russia to start jointly manufacturing weapons and other
military equipment under an agreement that was accepted by the
Armenian government on Thursday.
The government said the draft agreement regulates manufacturing and
research cooperation between Armenian and Russian defense companies.
Russia is supposed to provide special military hardware to the
Armenian military in accordance with a Russian-Armenian defense accord
signed more than two years ago. The deal led the presence of a Russian
military base in Armenia by 24 years, until 2044.
Moscow signs such agreements only in cases where it is interested in
concrete mutually beneficial cooperation, Aleksandr Golts, a leading
Russian defense analyst, said of the new agreement declared by
Yerevan.
So one can assume that with this agreement Armenia has not only
expectations from Russia but probably also something to offer, Golts
told RFE/RL s Armenian service (Azatutyun.am).
Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian praised the domestic defense industry
in January, saying that it can now cater for Armenia s practically
entire military arsenal.
During a military parade in Yerevan in September 2011, some of its
output was demonstrated that consisted unmanned military aircraft,
flamethrowers and multiple grenade launchers. Armenia is also believed
to manufacture bullets and other ammunition.
