YEREVAN, March 22. /TASS/. Armenia has decided to participate in the Army-2019 International Military-Technical Forum that will be held in late June in Russia, Armenian Deputy Defense Minister Gabriel Balayan said at a meeting of the parliament's standing defense and security committee.

"Yes, Armenia has made the decision to take part in the Army-2019 Forum," he said, replying to a question from one of the committee members.

The Armenian national exposition has been a part of the Forum every year since 2016. Last December, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Pavel Popov reported that Yerevan had expressed its intention to take part in the 2019 Forum as well.

The fifth anniversary edition of the International Military and Technical Army-2019 is scheduled for June 25-30 in Kubinka, in the Moscow Region.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
