ArmInfo. Chairman of the "United Motherland" party, former Minister of Defense of Artsakh, ex-head of the Security Council Samvel Babayan has no fundamental objections to the idea of the Speaker of the National Assembly of Artsakh Artur Tovmasyan to form a State Defense Committee.
It should be reminded that yesterday, Artur Tovmasyan made a statement at a parliamentary session, proposing to the President of Nagorno-Karabakh, Arayik Harutyunyan, to establish a State Defense Committee. Tovmasyan calls to include former state minister Ruben Vardanyan and former secretary of the Karabakh Security Council Samvel Babayan in this newly established body. "Guided by the goal of overcoming the crisis that has developed in Artsakh, Samvel Babayan is ready to discuss the powers and functions of the body being established," the press service of the "United Motherland" party emphasized.
It should also be noted that Artur Tovmasyan's statement said that if this model does not work, then the President of Artsakh will have to resign or hold a referendum on confidence in him. However, as Tovmasyan emphasized, this does not mean that in the event of resignation, Artur Tovmasyan will act as president of the country. "If the people don't trust you, I'll leave too," he said.
