Arms procurement from Russia under a credit agreement is on normal track. There are neither problems nor delays, Prime Minister of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan has told journalists. The prime minister disagrees with the views that the authorities of the country are short of financial resources to equip the Armed Forces of Armenia. Earlier this month, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with Deutsche Welle that the Armenian army “wars with weapons of 1980s.” The given statement sparked heavy criticism of the leadership. The opponents say the country's leadership embezzles the budget funds instead of buying advanced weapons. Meantime, the prime minister disclaimed criticism saying there is enough financial resources to buy advanced weapons for the army.
