On April 6, in the Pentagon's website about the "Defender 2023" multinational military exercise, Armenia was also mentioned in the list of participating countries. After some time, however, the US Department of Defense edited the message, and Armenia was no longer included in the list of participants. To get clarification, Radar Armenia turned to Aram Torosyan, the spokesperson of the RA Defense Minister.
In response he said: "The RA Ministry of Defense is planning to participate in 2 other military exercises organized by the US Ground Forces Command in Europe this year: KFOR (Kosovo Forces) and Saber Junction (Merged Sword) exercises."
