of which the military-industrial complex (MIC) has a decisive role
and significance. According to him, the constant attention of the

its place and role in international developments" A. Baghdasaryan said.

a concept on MIC development is intended to draft, which will enable

to ensure consolidation of a contemporary and operative system, as
well as to contribute to promotion of the activity of the enterprises
of the latter.

national economy, which can create wide opportunities for up-to-date
enterprises. In the end, the RA MIC is aimed at encouraging the
product export of the MIC," A. Baghdasaryan said. He noted that the
military industry getting support by the state can appear to be a
serious stimulus for development of other branches of economy.

especially within the frameworks of the CSTO. "In this regard there
is a positive shift. I am sure that we will manage to register

Armenian military-industrial companies must get integrated into a
financial-industrial interstate group, cooperating with Belarusian
and Russian companies.
