ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan introduced the new director of the National Security Service of Armenia Argishti Kyaramyan to the senior staff.
At the meeting, the Prime Minister once again expressed gratitude to the former head of the department Eduard Martirosyan for his work as director of the National Security Service, and before that. At the same time, the Prime Minister expressed confidence that Martirosyan headed the NSS in a very difficult and responsible period.
"I am glad to introduce the new head of the NSS - Argishti Kyaramyan and wish him success in this important post. I would like to emphasize that, of course, the NSS is a strong, established and dynamic structure, but we must also state that the challenges and pace, speed and quality of tackling them need constant improvement, and it was this task that I set for Kyaramyan so that the NSS could more effectively respond to the challenges that we face in the field of security, " the Prime Minister of Armenia said, adding that the meaning of the word security changes over time, new challenges arise that were not even predicted before. As example, Pashinyan cited the situation with a new type of coronavirus, modern information and political problems, as well as issues related to the dynamics of the investigation of corruption cases.
At the same time, he expressed his conviction that two years is a sufficient period for the officers of the National Security Service of Armenia to be able to take the position of the leadership of the country, which came to power through a velvet non-violent revolution and decide on their position.
"And I believe that the time has come to summarize who took advantage of this opportunity. And from this point of view, specific answers should be voiced. When I assumed the post of prime minister of the country in 2018, it was important for me how such power bodies as the NSS ensured the stability of systems, did not make erratic and destabilizing movements and create opportunities so that all those who have aspirations and desires are adapted to new realities. Now it's time to take stock, "he said.
At the same time, he noted that the principle of career advancement should work in all government agencies, and the key to this should be work, professionalism and commitment to fulfill the statutory tasks of the National Security Service to ensure the security of Armenia.
At the same time, he regretted that there are still people who are moving against this logic and often use the destabilizing atmosphere of harmony in departments to achieve this goal. At the same time, he emphasized the inadmissibility of such actions, especially to the detriment of work.
In conclusion, he expressed his conviction that Kyaramyan will be able to rally the staff in the NSS, and increase the image of the body to a level acceptable to Armenian citizens.
