YEREVAN, June 18 (Xinhua) — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has dismissed Director of the National Security Service (NSS) Armen Abazyan, who has held the post since November 2020. The corresponding decree was published on the website of the Armenian government on Wednesday.
The reasons for this decision are not stated in the official document, but N. Pashinyan, during a conversation with journalists in the National Assembly /parliament/ of Armenia, said: “The entire process of his tenure in this post was extremely difficult. I think he deserves a little rest, because working for five years in tense conditions as the director of the National Security Service, as you understand, is not easy.”
The head of the Armenian government temporarily assigned the duties of the head of the service to the deputy director of the National Security Service Andranik Simonyan. –0–
