He said that the agreement will define the direction of cooperation in the military-technical area, including the production of military-grade products, imports and exports procedures, licensing and quality control, as well as training of specialists and maintenance staff. The agreement also covers support for defense industry companies and relations concerning information exchange and storage.

The authorized bodies for implementing the agreement are the defense ministries of the two countries, as well as a working group that will be set up for military-technical cooperation as part of the Armenian-Czech Intergovernmental Commission for Economic Cooperation.

Sargsyan said that the Constitutional Court has approved the agreement.

It was signed in April 2019 and will take effect after passing national procedures in both countries. The Czech Republic notified Armenia on completing its national procedures of approval back in May 2019.

The agreement will be introduced for ratification in parliament after being debated in the committee.
