Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Minister of Defense Davit Tonoyan has stated that the Armed Forces of Armenia aim to not only deliver counter-attacks of equal measure, but also dictate terms, take preventive actions and push military operations into the adversary’s territory if necessary.

“We are celebrating an army which enters the third decade of the 21st century with a new structure and updated governance and command system, an army that quickly moves towards becoming a person-oriented institution, an army that consistently encourages and promotes the culture of intelligent and educated service men and women taking responsibility for the making and successful implementation of important decisions, an army that does everything possible to properly clothe and feed the members of the military, proving the importance that the state attaches to them,” Davit Tonoyan said at the event commemorating the anniversary of creation of the Armenian army.
