Medvedev Discusses Transfer of State Arms Purveyor With Putin

2014/09/08

MOSCOW, September 8 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in a meeting on Monday suggested that President Vladimir Putin liquidate the government’s state arms purveyor and delivering organs and distribute their functions among the Defense Ministry, Industry and Trade Industry, Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Audit Chamber.


“Over the last eight years while they were working, definite activity was done and definite tasks were completed. But today, one organ is within the government structure, or as they say ‘under the government,’ and that is Rosoboronzakaz [purveyor], but Rosoboronpostavka [deliverer] has historically been within the structures of the Defense Ministry, so there is a suggestion to liquidate both of these organs in order to concentrate all of the work in the Defense Ministry in the delivery of military-technology production,” Medvedev told Putin.


Putin noted that this issue had been discussed before.


“If you personally believe that this is expedient, then let’s do it,” Putin responded.
