Hovhannisyan: Armenia participates in NATO military exercises guided by its own interests

Commenting on Maria Zakharova's question as to why Armenia would participate in NATO military exercises, “Civil Contract” Faction MP Artur Hovhannisyan stated in the National Assembly (NA):

"The Republic of Armenia is moving forward in Armenia’s state interests and is doing everything to increase the combat readiness of its armed forces, and so it will continue. The Republic of Armenia continues warm, friendly relations with its strategic partner, Russia. It continues its warm relations with our partners from other countries as well."
