Armenian army is at its most difficult stage, and the upcoming transformations will not be easy, said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Wednesday at the parliament.

Armenia and its armed forces, as he noted, embarked on a thorny and extremely difficult path.

“What we have to do and the reforms we have to implement is not an easy path. But we must understand that we have certain objective limitations, and we must do everything to overcome them.

"It is for this reason that I made a decision according to which a person who is a representative of the current political team should become the Minister of Defense of the Republic.

"And now, looking back, I regret that I did not make this decision sooner. However, I am not sure that it was necessary to do so from the very beginning,” he added.
