/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “We aim at forming an army meeting international
standards by 2015,” Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan said
in the course of a meeting with Russian journalists. In his words,
“from time to time Russian media publish not very friendly articles
that Yerevan has the goal of forming an army, which will meet the NATO
standards.” “These are different things,” the Armenian Defense Minister
emphasized. In his words, Armenia “wishes to cooperate with other
countries and the NATO, too, however that cooperation does not develop
at the expense of the Armenian-Russian military cooperation.” “We do
not conceal from our western partners our relations with Russia and
its Armed Forces,” S. Sargsyan said.
