Keen to expand defence ties with India, says Armenian deputy foreign minister
New Delhi: Armenia is keen to expand its cooperation on defence with India, the country’s deputy foreign minister Mnatsakan Safaryan told Mint in an exclusive interview.
In the aftermath of its bitter conflict with Azerbaijan, Armenia is looking to diversify its defence ties, with an eye on India. It has appointed a defence attaché to its embassy in New Delhi to scope out the potential for further cooperation.
Armenia has purchased rocket launchers, phased array radars and ammunition from India, particularly after 2020.
Deputy foreign minister Safaryan said that Armenia would like to expand cooperation on national security with India after the national security advisers of both countries met earlier this year.
Safaryan thanked India for condemning Azerbaijan’s “aggression" towards Armenia and welcomed a greater Indian role in the region.
