The government of Armenia implements a consolidated programme in the defense sector, Minister Davit Tonoyan told reporters at Yerablur military pantheon while paying tribute to memory of the servicemen fell during the April Four-Day war.

Tonoyan’s remarks came when asked to comment on his recent statement made during the US trip about the formula “New war – new territories” adopted by the army in case of the war in Karabakh.
“What I said was in no way out of the scope of the government programme priorities. Let nobody doubt. I am surprised why the public is surprised on this,” the minister said, adding more relevant topics were under discussion during his trip to US.

In particular, the minister said an enhancement of cooperation in the peacekeeping sphere is expected in the future with respective assistance to be offered to Armenia.

To remind, commenting on the controversial statement by the minister, PM Pashinyan said earlier he would relieve Tonoyan from his duties if he might come up with another statement than what he had made.
