    The Government of Armenia held a sitting today chaired by President
    of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan. Noting that according
    to Article 86 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, the
    President can convene a Government sitting on issues of foreign policy,
    defense and national security, Serzh Sargsyan said this is the first
    time he uses the opportunity this year. The sitting started with the
    discussion of issues related to the defense sphere.

    At the beginning of the sitting the Defense Minister presented
    the draft decisions on determining the structure and statutes of
    "RA Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of
    the Republic of Armenia, the Defense Ministry's Technical Support
    Department, and the Investigating Department of the Ministry of
    Defense, as well as establishment of the "Staff of RA Ministry of
    Defense" state governance body, Department of Technical Support and
    Investigatory Service of the Ministry of Defense." The decisions were
    adopted, taking into consideration the suggestions made.

    Regarding the above-mentioned decisions, Serzh Sargsyan underlined
    that the defense reforms in the country are nearing the end. "In a
    few days we will have the structures of the Ministry of Defense and
    the General Staff, the functions will be finally distributed and
    our Ministry of Defense will act in new conditions. I think these
    decisions were correct. We have been passing this way for 3.5 years
    already. During these years we have managed to do some preparatory
    work and I think that the defense-capacity of our state will further
    reinforce with these decisions."
