"Our country is always open for the training of Armenian sergeants and officers," Lithuanian Defense Minister Gediminas Kirkilas said at a meeting with Armenian MOD head Serge Sargsyan. As reported by the Public Television of Armenia, the meeting proceeded in an atmosphere of mutual trust. Kirkilas attached importance to the participation of the Armenian military in the exercise to be held in Lithuania. "The availability of the Armenian flag is principal for us," he said adding that next year he would like to see a full unit but not several officers. At that he expressed readiness to discuss the organization issues, including the financial ones.
