Armenia is carrying out technico-military cooperation with various countries, and it is also, in fact, creating a professional army. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this during the Second Global Armenian Summit Wednesday.

"Especially in Azerbaijan, there is a lot of talk about Armenia buying weapons from the West. Moreover, do you know what is interesting? That they say that the West is arming Armenia. I'm sorry, but Azerbaijan buys weapons from the Czech Republic, buys weapons from Italy. Since when are the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy no longer the West? That is, why can Azerbaijan buy weapons from Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, but Armenia cannot buy weapons from France? Why can Azerbaijan buy weapons from Pakistan, [but] Armenia can't buy weapons from India?

Moreover, I say: the reforms of our army do not have any aggressive context in them," the Armenian PM stated.
