Considering the deal a national security issue, the parliament official said he knows that the arms and arms supply to be acquired under the agreement are going to be unprecedented for Armenia. Meantime he dispelled the concerns over possible threats by Azerbaijan.

“We face the urgent need to arm our military system with upgraded supplies. And I do not think we have ever had that kind of equipment. I want to remind you of the Government representative’s statement about a possible price revision in Russia; we might have to pay a more expensive price for the equipment in that case,” he said.
