"On the whole, the positive outcomes of the approbation of the draft RA National Security Strategy in the academic association of Armenia were summed up during an open discussion of the National Assembly. The interdepartmental committee has considered over 700 suggestions and compiled a product that passed a worthy professional test in Washington, Moscow and Brussels," RA Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan said when commenting on the ratification of the RA National Security Strategy to his Spokesman Seyran Shahsuvaryan. According to him, the international recognition of the outcomes can be proved by the publication of the document by the Harvard government school as well as the feedback received from the U.S. Defense University, the Russian Academy of State Service at the RF President and other experts.

"We needed a professional environment for systematic discussion of secure and sustainable development of Armenia while the scientific school of security is at the stage of formation in our republic. Under such conditions we wanted to enlist guarantees of correspondence to the world standards. It was also important to secure favorable conditions for a balanced exchange of political messages and ideas on the whole scope of national interests of Armenia and our security partners. These ideas were laid in the basis of the Yerevan-Moscow-Washington-Brussels approbation,' the RA Defense Minister said.
