YEREVAN. – A government-affiliated state committee for military industry should be formed in Armenia.

Armenian National Security Council (NSC) Secretary Arthur Baghdasaryan stated the abovementioned at a press conference on Saturday.

In his view, military industry-related matters need to be coordinated by a separate organization.

“This is extremely important for our country. I should note that the neighboring countries are carrying this out.

“Turkey has major facilities that coordinate military industry. There is a military industry ministry in Azerbaijan. Separate facilities likewise deal with these issues in all other CSTO countries.

“I think it is expedient to create such an organization at us, too,” Baghdasaryan said.

The NSC chief added that he already has submitted a respective proposal to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. 

Arthur Baghdasaryan noted that the military industry in Armenia has great development prospects, and it also will create new jobs.
