Leaving Armenia’s children a legacy of peace rather than revenge, and preventing reasons for war from arising, is one of the country’s most important security guarantees. Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Alen Simonyan said this during the third Global Armenian Summit, responding to a question about why Armenia was seeking to normalise relations with Türkiye rather than focusing on strengthening itself.

Simonyan said Armenia needed a strong army that would make any attack on the country extremely painful for the adversary.

“I believe we must have an army that would make an attack on the Republic of Armenia so painful that the adversary would not even feel the need to attempt it. But if we look more deeply, I think we must ensure that there is no reason at all to wage war against one another. Why should we go to war with the Turks? If they want to attack us, we will not have time to become stronger. The illusion we have been fed for 70 years — that we must cling to Russia’s tail or the Turks will devour us — has nothing to do with reality,” Simonyan said.
