YEREVAN. – Aside from being beautiful and inspiring, a military parade is also the army’s accounting before the country’s residents, military analyst Artsrun Hovhannisyan told Armenian News.NEWS.am, adding that, “the military parade is moreover a huge, beautiful event whereby an opinion is formed on combat-readiness, and technical and equipment capacity is partly understood.”       

According to Hovhannisyan, when comparing all military parades held since the past 20 years of Armenia’s independence, development of the country’s armed forces becomes clear. “The 20th-Anniversary military parade will display certain offensive and defensive weapons. There could also be surprises from domestic military industry,” Hovhannisyan noted, underscoring that the parade would give the regional countries fairly sufficient answers concerning the arsenal of Armenia’s army.
