    > Last month, French Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu visited Yerevan to discuss the boosting of defense ties with his Armenian counterpart.

    > **They recently signed a contract for the supply of rifles produced by the French company PGM** and discussions are said to be ongoing for a potential sale of MBDA’s short-range Mistral missiles, according to Politico.

    This is a first for me to hear this, I’d be curious if this implies an overhaul is to be conducted over the decade to transition to a NATO-based bullet system instead of the Russian one.

  2. Don’t you think there’s a problem here? How can we aim to become allies with the West without discussing lustration? During the Soviet era, Armenia was one of the most recruited by the KGB. what you think it varnished overnight?

    almost all post soviet union countries went through lustration as the first step to become free, and apparently we’re skipping that fundamental step and just becoming allies with West lol
