ARMENIA’S DEFENSE MINISTER AND BRITISH AMBASSADOR SIGNED A MEMORANDUM
ON COOPERATION IN THE DEFENSE SPHERE
Armenia’s Defense Minister Serzhik Sarkisyan and UK Ambassador to
Armenia Thorda Abbott-Watt signed a memorandum on mutual
understanding and cooperation in the defense sphere on Friday.
As reported by the press service of the British embassy to Armenia,
the memorandum is aimed at developing the current nice relations
between defense ministries of both states. The document is supposed
to become the foundation for growing cooperation in the defense
sphere between both states. (…)
Last year the UK financed involvement of 16 Armenian servicemen in
various retraining courses abroad. The British Secretary of Defense
is also financing the English courses in the framework of the British
Council’s program on training the peacekeeping forces.
