YEREVAN. – Armenia is capable of creating its own military industry complex.

Zaruhi Postanjyan, head of Armenia’s opposition “Heritage” National Assembly Faction, stated the aforementioned at a press conference on Tuesday.

In her words, Russia was in first place in science during the Soviet era, and it was followed by Ukraine and Armenia.

“But if we compare it with the population of Armenia, we can say that our country was the first with its scientific potential,” stressed Postanjyan. “It is clear that the [incumbent] Armenian authorities have incorrectly assessed our capabilities, for about ten years. We could have had a developed military industry system.

“At the moment, there are certain projects which the Ministry of Economy has developed (…). We have potential and opportunities that need to coincide with the wishes of the authorities, which [i.e. the wishes] does not exist at this moment.”
