/PanARMENIAN.Net/ From the viewpoint of military
cooperation, Armenia’s joining the CSTO was a
significant move. It became not only the main
constituent of our state’s security but also conveyed
a stimulus to development and expansion of relations
between Armenia and Russia, RA Defense Minister Serge
Sargsyan said at a solemn event dedicated to the 15th
anniversary of the Armenian Army formation.

In his words, cooperation with NATO is also extremely
important for the RA. As result, the IPAP was
elaborated and ratified; the process of cooperation
for next ten years was outlined. `Cooperation with
NATO promotes modernization of the army and
implementation of international experience. All our
efforts are targeted at defense reforms. Our army’s
efficiency is proved by annual military exercise
within the Partnership for Peace program,’ Sargsyan
underscored.

The Minister also voiced assurance that the army will
fulfill all the tasks set to it by the state and
people. We granted peace to our people and are obliged
to help them to live in peace. The Armenian Army
cannot be frightened with billions the Azeri President
promised for his army. It’s not only money that makes
army efficient. We have enough will, we are devoted to
our motherland and are ready to put a finish to the
struggle started 19 years ago, in 1988,’ resumed Serge
Sargsyan.
