Former Deputy Minister of Defense, member of the RPA Executive Body Artak Zakaryan wrote:
“With the new decree of the President of the Russian Federation <a href="https://time.news/are-the-eu-and-nato-experiencing-war-fatigue-in-ukraine/" title="Are the EU and NATO experiencing war fatigue in Ukraine?”>Vladimir Putin, the personnel of the Russian Armed Forces will increase to 2,209,130 people, among whom 1,320,000 are military personnel. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the maximum number of armed forces has been increased by another 170,000 soldiers.
The significant increase in the personnel of the Armed Forces is explained by the increase in threats to Russia in connection with the conduct of special military operations and the expansion of the NATO bloc. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization continues to gather forces near Russia’s borders, deploy air defense systems and strike weapons. There are also publications about NATO’s build-up of tactical nuclear forces.
The general military budget of NATO member countries increased by 13% in 2023. 2024 about 10% growth is planned for China, India, Iran, Pakistan, and a number of Arab countries are consistently increasing their military capabilities.
In general, in 2023, the joint military expenditures of the countries of the world reached 2.24 trillion dollars. This indicates that the world is preparing for the option of solving existing issues by military means. This does not mean that major wars are inevitable. This means that regional military conflicts may expand in the near future.
And what do the capitulating rulers of Armenia do in this situation? You are right, they are fighting to keep their power and get rich at any cost. Artsakh was handed over and now they dream of making money. Turks and Azerbaijanis are so naive that they will allow you to earn money in peace?
You will not see a peaceful life as long as Nikol and other capitulators decide the fate of the Armenian people. They come destroying one by one and approach the house of each one of you.”
