Pashinyan Says Armenia Has Funds to Purchase Required Defense Weaponry
Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan, during a Q&A session at the National Assembly regarding last night’s Azerbaijani attacks along the border, said that while Armenia has sufficient financial means to acquire the arms and ammunition it needs to defend itself, not all countries are ready to sell arms to Armenia.
Pashinyan did not specify who those countries are, and his language was more than nebulous.
He claimed that some countries, also unnamed, are not ready to accept the fact that Armenia can purchase arms from other countries willing to sell them.
Whether this was a veiled reference to Russia is debatable.
Pashinyan said that some countries willing to sell weapons to Armenia cannot because of pre-orders and that they need the remainder for domestic use.
He said that transporting arms purchases to Armenia is problematic given that the country is landlocked.
