Armenian Defense Ministers calls on mass media note to publisch  unverified information about weapons purhases

ArmInfo.The Armenian  Defense Ministry called on the media not to publish unverified  information about weapons purchases.

Thus, the statement of the Armenian Defense Ministry says that  numerous publications continue to appear in foreign media containing  false information about the acquisition of weapons in order to expand  the defense capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of  Armenia, as well as about the details of the negotiations related to  this issue.

"Such publications are quickly spreading in the media operating in  the territory of the Republic of Armenia.

The Ministry of Defense, based on the need to ensure information  security, once again calls for clarification and verification of  information through the Defense Ministry before publishing such  materials," the statement says. 

Information about Armenia purchasing certain weapons from India is  constantly appearing in Indian media.  Moreover, the Armenian Defense  Ministry has not previously responded to such leaks from the Indian  side.  However, last week the opposition sharply criticized the  Armenian Defense Ministry for doing nothing to prevent the  dissemination of such highly confidential information that is  important from the point of view of the country's security. The  opposition noted that Armenia has become a kind of advertising  billboard for the Indian military-industrial complex.
