The United States Department of Defense has declined to comment on equipment movements when asked about the validity of the Russian state-run RT news article claiming that the US plans to move military equipment from Germany to Armenia, Armenpress reports.

“The United States strongly values our relationship with Armenia. The Department of Defense does not comment on equipment movements for operational security reasons,” a US defense official told Armenpress when asked to comment on the report.

The Armenian defense ministry hasn’t yet commented on the report.

As reported earlier, the United States intends to transport hundreds of units of equipment and vehicles from its military bases in Germany to Armenia’s military fields, according to RT.
