ArmInfo. Armenia has begun exporting weapons. Armenian Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan announced this on his Facebook page.
According to him, in May, three Armenian companies exported weapons to two different countries. In this regard, the minister recalled that he had previously reported in various public speeches and interviews that several domestic manufacturers had received weapons export permits.
"Overcoming complex logistical challenges, Armenian companies managed to reach their destination. For the first time, they managed to deliver finished products developed and manufactured in Armenia to their end-user countries," the minister emphasized.
Hayrapetyan noted that this had been a dream and one of the strategic priorities of the Government of the Republic of Armenia. That's why, as he further noted, the government has made multibillion-dollar investments in the military industry in recent years, and will continue to do so in the future. "This is the beginning of a new, great journey," he concluded.
