Armed Forces refute information presented by Public TV about Orsis company

The information in the coverage of the Public TV broadcast on February 11 about Orsis company does not correspond to reality, head of the information department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Samvel Asatryan told Aysor.am.

He stressed that the person, presented as the source, could not have the information about the acquisition of the arms.

“The person who gave interview about Orsis is not the commander of special significance division of the Armed Forces.  He could not have the information about the arms acquired by the Armed Forces and their prices and moreover he could not have participated in the testing of these ammunition. Consequently, the presented information does not correspond to reality,” Samvel Asatryan said.

According to him, an impression is left as if some people are trying to cast a shadow on the Armed Forces.

“They are also trying to cast a shadow on the Russian-Armenian relations. We also want to say that a service examination has been launched into the case,” Asatryan said.

The Armenian Public Television reported citing an unnamed source that  an attempt was made to sell to Armenian Armed Forces hunting arms under the name of military but the deal did not take place.
