The draft Military Doctrine of Armenia has passed an intensive stage of
shaping, RA Defense Minister Michael Harutyunyan said during today’s
discussion. In his words, it’s a doctrine about neutralization of
the military threats to our country and other military issues. It
consists of four main sections: "Military-Political Provisions,"
"Defense Doctrine," "Military Security System," and "Reforms of the
Military Security System."

According to the Minister, the National Security Strategy adopted
on February 7, 2007 served as a basis for the creation of the
doctrine. Over the past months a special interagency commission was
working on the document. Over 700 suggestions were submitted. "We have
not had the purpose to take the military doctrine of some country
and adjust it to Armenia: the document has been worked out deriving
from the Armenian reality," Michael Harutyunyan noted. The Minister
said it will soon be discussed in the National Assembly and will be
submitted for the President’s ratification in December.

The scientists and experts present at the discussion highly appreciated
the draft doctrine, noting that "it is a balanced, succeeded and
reasonable document."
