10 Million Drams Allocated to the Ministry of Defense

The government has allocated over 10 million drams to the Ministry of Defense of Armenia for the needs of the armed forces. This issue was included in the scope of non-reported questions of the government, and the justification does not provide many details.

It is only stated that the 10 million drams will be directed to the "Provision of the Republic of Armenia's Defense" program, as well as to fund expenditures related to acquisitions containing state or service secrets, as provided for under the item for the "Construction of Buildings and Structures." The draft was developed by the Ministry of Defense of Armenia.

It is also noted that the adoption of the draft does not require amendments or additions to other legal acts. Let us recall that just last year, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, while presenting the 2022 budget, announced that the military budget would increase by 11 percent compared to 2021, amounting to 345 billion drams.
