In early June the Armenian defense ministry expects to conclude a contract with an American company on supply of communication means for the Armenian armed forces. As Armenian defense minister Serge Sargsian stated today, "Mediamax" agency reports, the deal will be realized at the expense of the means Armenia received from the US as military assistance. As US ambassador to Armenia John Ordway noted in his turn, some delay of equipment of the Armenian army is explained by the fact that the Armenian-American cooperation only began last year.
