Armenia plans no increase in military spending in 2026

Yerevan does not plan to increase its military budget in 2026, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said.

The Armenian PM said it was likely that the 2026 budget would see no significant increase in overall expenditures, including defence spending, describing this approach as logical and reflecting the current government assessment.

Pashinyan added that the Armenian authorities would continue to closely monitor the operational situation along the border.
