“We [Armenia] need to be able to completely modernize our border infrastructures with modern information technology,” Baghdasaryan noted, in particular, during his Facebook livestream on Wednesday. “The matter of modernization of border infrastructures is a major task. Yes, the matter of securing Armenia with modern weapons is a key issue of national security.

“And these two tasks (…) are among the political objectives of the RLP.”
