Press Release

6 October, 2010 00:00
In regard to the information disseminated by “Haykakan Jamanak” (“Armenian Time”) daily, with the heading “Esti Hametsek” (“Come here”), the ARM AF GS officially announces that the reality is distorted in this story.
From the 25th of September till 6th of October, 2010 the US and UK expert group was really in Armenia in order to give advisory assistance with the ARM Strategic Defence Review.

This group periodically visits Armenia for methodological help in the sphere of Strategic Defence Review. This time, too, the group has had meetings and discussions in the ARM MoD Administrative Complex with ARM MoD and AF GS officials, who are concerned with those matters. And this is all… There have been no expert visits, thus, no studies either, in the sights where “U-300” zenith-rocket complexes and “earth-earth” class rockets are located. This is a complete lie and an instigator act against our nation. It is unperceivable and irritating that Haykakan Jamanak” daily continues disseminating fallacious information to discredit the Armenian Armed Forces, which is especially inadmissible for a mass media of a country which has an unsettled Artsakh conflict.
