ORSIS CEO Denies Request for Monopolization from Armenian Ministry of Defense

The tension between the Russian arms manufacturer ORSIS and the Ministry of Defense of Armenia continues. In an interview with RIA Novosti, ORSIS CEO Vladimir Zlobin stated that the information published in Armenian media, claiming that the company requested a monopoly on small arms in the Armenian market from the Ministry of Defense, is not true.

"This is unfounded information; all our meetings with the Armenian side have been recorded in protocols and letters, and we have never requested a monopoly," Zlobin said.
