STEPANAKERT. – One of the most important security components is competitive capabilities of Armenia and Artsakh, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan said during a joint meeting of the national security councils in Stepanakert.

“It is the economy that should provide the Armed Forces of Armenia and Artsakh with the necessary resources for the implementation of their functions, and the issues of economic strategic significance is on our agenda today.

But on the other hand, we must state that the security situation in our region, unfortunately, is becoming increasingly tense, and we are seeing more escalation than solutions, and this will also be discussed at a joint meeting of security councils.

From this point of view, I want to draw our attention to the following problem. I think that under the prevailing geopolitical realities, we must state that we have a joint responsibility not only from the point of view of security of the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh, but also a special responsibility from the point of view of ensuring regional and global security,” he noted.
