The plans for the acquisition of weapons and military equipment have not changed, only additional equipment has been acquired. Pashinyan
Serzh Sargsyan stated in an interview in November 2017 that we expressed our willingness to leave all 7 regions, but Azerbaijan put forward new demands every time. In other words, what is the new demand, that is, they demand including Karabakh. This was announced by Nikol Pashinyan on June 27 at the session of the NA investigative commission studying the circumstances of the 44-day war. "If we gave the 7 regions and Karabakh, I am not sure that it would not give us a chance to avoid the war."
"As a matter of fact, the following was done in relation to the army. Have there been discussions about the state of combat capability? Yes, there were, and I received assurances up to and including August 2020 that, of course, it will be very difficult, the army will fulfill the task set before it. This is not a record that has just been taken into account. In 2018, I adopted an "everything for the army" policy
Already in 2019, salaries in the army have increased significantly, weapons and military equipment have been purchased. There is a lot of talk about the fact that after I became the prime minister, the plans for the acquisition of weapons and military equipment were changed and distorted. Nothing has changed, just some additional techniques have been acquired.
It is impossible for anyone to remember a case where the army presented a problem to the government and it was not solved because there was no money. But the solution to many problems is not only related to money," said Pashinyan, referring to the army.
