ArmInfo.Third President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, touched upon his statement made in 2016 in Germany that Armenian soldiers fought with weapons of the 1980s.
During the press conference, Sargsyan noted: "I meant that despite the fact that Azerbaijan is arming itself to the teeth and the members of the OSCE Minsk Group turn a blind eye to this, the Armenian army is capable of defending its homeland. As you remember, Germany chaired the OSCE that year. "
After that, the third president of Armenia suggested that journalists clarify whether there is an army in the world that does not have weapons of the 1980s. <Take the example of the United States or Israel. There are similar weapons. I will tell you even more, in today's arsenal of the Armenian army, almost all small arms were also produced in the 1980s. Our army also has weapons that were produced in the 1940s and 1950s," Sargsyan stressed.
