As you know huge bulk of works are being carried out to modernize and develop military components of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. We can say we are “advancers” here, we are the country which, being one of the member of the organization, has made a list of proposals related to modernization of the components,” Ohanyan said.
The Armenian army modernization is implemented through restoring and advancing military and industrial complex which was once pretty developed in Armenia, and due to cooperation with Russia, CSTO members and European countries, the minister clarified.
