ArmInfo.The nature of the challenges facing Armenia has not changed, perhaps the tensions have somewhat subsided, but this does not affect the current combat capability and training of the Armed Forces. Armenian Deputy Defense Minister Gabriel Balayan announced this on April 2 in the "Yerablur" military pantheon in an interview with journalists.
Meanwhile, to the remark, what lessons learned from those events Armenia, what conclusions were drawn, and how ready for war, if we take into account the fact that the April events of 2016 demonstrated how much the Armenian arsenal was "naked", Balayan stressed that he did not share this point of view. "I will not share the point of view that the Armenian arsenal was naked, because of the four-day April war we, fortunately, did not emerge as losers. Moreover, we demonstrated the courage and steadfastness of the spirit of the Armenian soldiers, and the accuracy of our weapons. In addition, over the past for several years we have managed to sufficiently replenish our arsenal and raise the level of combat readiness. Everything is in a more vigilant state, now we are at the stage when the quantity is replaced by quality. That is, we have implemented qualitative changes in a number of areas, including in terms of the technical equipment of the Armed Forces, "the Deputy Minister of Defense concluded.
