Mos, that is a great idea but it takes organization and lots of money to setup. There are many Armenians who do have military background from the respective country they live in that must be reached including logistic and support volunteers in none combat fields.

As far as weapons that would be very difficult (plus there will be lots of weapons on the battlefield) and such organization must have legality behind it with cooperation with Armenia’s Military of Defence, be able to travel to different countries to enter Armenia (Spetanakert) if war breaks out.
I would think you will need a couple of ex-military officers and a few patriotic Armenian businessmen to work in conjunction once it is determined that there is a big enough pool of volunteers to setup a small force like that. Training can come later including background security checks on each volunteer (which they themselves may have to pay for, including travel).

Yes of course, it would take initiative on part of a few wealthy and also powerful Armenians. But I'm thinking such a force would be much higher in standards than regular army. For starters, the soldiers would be paid as it would be voluntary but the facilities and weapons they used would be much more advanced, purchased from various countries and companies. It would have to be strictly distinct from the Ministry of Defence though so it could have more leeway internationally; though cooperation would most likely have to happen. It would be similar to the private military forces that US has (e.g. Blackwater), and it would be a great way to utilise our large diaspora.

In terms of non-armenian volunteers, I envision people like Greeks, Serbs, and Russians wanting to join, as they would be more than willing to have the chance to kill some Turks.

I like the way you think Mos...X2

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Russia gives us enough weapons just to defend ourselves. they dont want us to be powerful. So weŽll always be under their radar. Armenia should start buying more stuff from Ukraine/Belarus/china IMHO.
And besides all that, why the hell do we still donŽt have a military industry?

Ukraine / Belarus did not produce modern weapons. They are selling old Soviet weapons
