In 1992 this day the decision on ‘The Ministry of Defense of Armenia’ was made, and a historic decree on the establishment of the army was signed.

Do you even hear yourself speak? Nobody will protect our country other than us. Us Armenians! Roads and irrigation won't even matter anymore because of people like you our race might as well become extince either way. Do you think if we were to leave our army only to Russia that we would still have a country? You forget that our sacrifices as a nation was the reason we won the war and still have whatever is left of our war torn country. The heart and bravery of our soldiers is what keeps our country intact and protected from your turkish phanatics that you live with. Russia is helping us but we are the ones protecting Armenia and Artsakh right now. We are the army.

I am Armenian of İstanbul.. 310 million dollars for army? Why? Why don't you just leave all defence to Russia who already protects the boundry to Turkey? Armenia needs roads, irrigation, industry etc. The eoonomy of Armenia decreased about %14.5 this year. With 310 million dollars there could be more investments...
