The lack of a concept for reforms in the Armenian army hampers serious changes in the defense system, according to MP Tigran Abrahamyan from the opposition With Honor faction.

“In this regard, Armenia is also lagging behind its traditional enemy [Azerbaijan], which embarked on military reforms last year,” he wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.

“The Armenian defense minister claims that in the near future the reforms will be discussed and made public, meanwhile adding that he still has reservations about the developed concept.

“In Armenia, it’s constantly talked about the development of the military-industrial complex, but the system has had no leader for 1.3 years, with the industry left in a strange situation.

“The promises and assurances sound nice, but they have little to do with reality,” Abrahamyan said.
