ARMENIA'S ARMED FORCES ENTER NEW STRATEGIC DEFENSE REVIEW STAGE
11:36 17.07.13
In an exclusive interview with Tert.am, Armenia's Deputy Minister of
Defense David Tonoyan spoke of the new Strategic Defense Review of
Armenia and of the relevant preparatory work. He also spoke of the
specific features of Armenia's Armed Forces.
Speaking of the new stage of Strategic Defense Review, Mr Tonoyan said
that the Strategic Defense Review is an important component of mid-
and long-term defense planning. Each stage of long-term planning begins
with this process. So the next stage is a transition from Planning
(2011-2015) to Implementation (2016-2020).
Strategic Defense Review is a risk and threat assessment process. On
the basis of priorities, army development plans are developed,
including midterm expenditure programs. The Strategic Defense Review
results will determine the need for structural reforms in the armed
forces.
The Strategic Defense Review results are applied to all the components,
including military equipment and defense systems. The major aim is
planning, namely, the armed forces personnel and means needed to
meet challenges.
Armenia's armed forces are based not only on the USSR army's
experience, but also the experience gained during the war in
Nagorno-Karabakh. The military art and defense criteria are constantly
developing because of the rapidly changing global security environment
and threats, mechanisms of opposing them. The task is to develop
Armenia's armed forces in conformity with the processes for them to
be capable of meeting the challenges. So the army development process
implies the application of all modern criteria - national and western.
