The reforms introduced in Armenia’s defense sector are welcomed and can lead to major strengthening of the country’s armed forces, expert Tevan Poghosyan told NEWS.am, commenting on the statement by the Armenia defense ministry on intention to revise the defense strategy.

According to him, the reforms will contribute to transparency of the sector, more efficient funds spending, as well as strengthening of army-society ties. “The positive point is Armenia will follow the lead of other states and organizations, including CSTO and NATO,” the expert said.

The revision of the strategy will provide the directions for further reforms in security and defense sectors. In the context of the national security policy, Armenia intends to review the documents of strategic importance in accordance with new threat assessments.
