News - Pashinyan: Armenia’s cooperation in defense sector not directed against any country

Armenia’s cooperation with its partners in the defense sector is not directed against any country. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said this in his interview given to the Kathimerini newspaper of Greece. "The development of Armenia’s defense capabilities is aimed at protecting Armenia’s independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and guarding its borders," Pashinyan added. Reflecting on Armenia’s cooperation with Greece, he emphasized: "Since the early years of the independence of the Republic of Armenia, the Armenian people have always enjoyed the support of Greece. I take this opportunity, once again, to express my gratitude to the Greek people and the Greek government for standing by us and supporting us in difficult times. There is a long tradition of cooperation in the defense sector. In December last year (2023), the military-technical cooperation agreement between the two governments was signed, which entails the exchange of experience, knowledge and the development of joint projects. Many Armenian cadets have the opportunity to study in Greek educational institutions: these are just some of the points of cooperation in this field, and currently, regular military exercises are carried out. Despite the excellent cooperation in the defense sector, there is great potential for further development. In the near future, we hope that cooperation in this direction will be expanded."
