YEREVAN. – Armenia should acquire the weapons that will provide defense of the country, Ara Papyan, Modus Vivendi Center Director and political scientist stated at a press conference on Wednesday.

According to him, if there is an opportunity to protect the country with new systems, first of all antiaircraft defense, it should be done, but it is also necessary to have means “for punishment of the opposing side”.

“We can also produce weapons. We have appropriate specialists, and if the government allocates a certain sum for the organization of this business, I am sure that many experts will also arrive to Armenia,” Papyan said.
