Pashinyan: State budget for 2026 does not provide for significant  increase in defense spending

ArmInfo.  There could be  no significant increase, or none at all in Armenia's defense spending in the  state budget for 2026. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told  journalists during a briefing, noting that this is logical in the  current realities.

"This is our current assessment. However, we will continue to  promptly monitor the situation and analyze it. All our decisions will  be adequate to the short-term, medium-term and long-term outlook,"  the Prime Minister noted.
