YEREVAN. – In 2014, we will supply modern weapons, which we have not yet had, to the army.

Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan stated the aforesaid Monday during his visit to an MOD military unit, on the occasion of the forthcoming New Year and Armenian Christmas holidays. 

Sargsyan congratulated the Armenian military servicemen on the coming holidays and thanked them for their dedicated service.

“Today, all members of the Government of Armenia are at the military units to congratulate the Armenian soldier because you are the guarantee of our security, safe life. I hope that your [military] service be safe. 

“The year 2013 was a year of hard and strenuous work. This year we have seen to it that the weaponry [supplied to the army] be modern and so that the degree of professionalism of our soldier may rise.

“The year 2013 was successful for numerous domains of [Armenia’s] economy. [But] we also had shortcomings and failures.

“[But] the capabilities that are formed in Armenia give hope that the year 2014 will be a year of new accomplishments [for Armenia],” PM Sargsyan said, in particular.
