Armenia is negotiating the purchase of long-range weapons, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia Artak Davtyan told reporters on Thursday.

Asked to comment on the possibility of procuring S-400, the general noted that this issue has not yet been considered. At the same time, he noted that certain steps have been taken to purchase other types of long-range weapons, but agreements have not yet been concluded.

"We plan that the armament will be in Armenia in 2022-23," he said without eleborating. "The threat of war has not decreased or increased. This threat exists until there is a political solution to the Artsakh issue."

According to him, there is another challenge as Turkey.
