September 24, 2013 - 14:20 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan and Moscow are planning to ratify an
important agreement, envisaging direct purchases from Russian military
plants, in the near future, Hraparak daily said citing sources at
parliament.
According to the daily, the deal will provide Armenia with exclusive
rights. "There's a similar agreement with Belarus, yet it contains some
reservations, which the deal with Armenia does not," the daily said.
In June 2013, during the visit of the Russian Security Council
Secretary Nikolai Patrushev to Armenia, a military and technical
cooperation agreement was signed with Russia. The agreement stipulates
for each side to supply military products with the same specifications
as for one's own armed forces. The agreement also enables the supplier
to exert control over the presence of products and their compliance
with the intended use to be described in an additional treaty.
According to another deal, Armenia and Russia will form a joint defense
enterprise as well as the border guards and emergency situation experts
training centers. With Russia's assistance, Armenia's defense industry
will launch production of ammunition, armory, as well as form a repair
base for land, air and air defense forces.
