Mr. Vanetsyan spoke about the officer’s honor in his statement. The fact that he, being the de jure director of the National Security Service, makes a statement against his supreme commander, there is no greater dishonor to the officer’s honor than that. RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced this during a press conference in Los Angeles, referring to Artur Vanetsyan’s resignation, the latter’s statement and the removal of that statement from the official website of the NSS.

“It’s a lot… by the way, I didn’t even know that that statement… I found out later that it was posted on the website of the NSS. And then, even after the signing of the decree, questions arise… Would an officer do such a thing? You know what that is? It means throwing the shoulder straps in the trash, because the putschists of 1991 did such a thing last time. RA is not the country where such a thing can happen. it’s an insult to the military. And I am very happy that the public of Armenia has given its assessment to this phenomenon very clearly,” he said.

To remind, Artur Vanetsyan submitted his resignation to RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on September 16.
