RA defense and internal affairs ministers will be reappointed. Today, Nikol Pashinyan told journalists after the meeting of the CP Board.
“Defense Minister Suren Papikyan and Internal Affairs Minister Arpine Sargsyan will be reappointed,” Pashinyan said.
As for the question of whether he is satisfied with the leaders of the two military departments, taking into account the fact that this year the 8th casualty has already been registered in the army in non-combat conditions, Pashinyan said that the solution to this issue is to change the social-psychology of the public.
“Approximately 70 percent of the phenomena that occur in the army do not originate with the army. The officers are to blame, but each individual case should be investigated separately,” said Pashinyan.
He also confirmed the information that Lilit Makunts will be appointed as the head of the Prime Minister’s Office.
