ArmInfo.Over the past year, the efficiency of the work of the bodies of the National Security Service (NSS) of Armenia has significantly increased. Armenian Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this on December 20, congratulating  the NSS employees on the National Security Officer's Day.

According to Pashinyan, after the catastrophic war of 2020, Armenia  was able to overcome the phase of a deep political, psychological  crisis and a crisis of confidence, "without worsening the situation."  "I would like to draw your attention to the fact that after November  2020 (the signing of a trilateral statement on a ceasefire - ed.  note), there was not a single shooting on the territory of the  Republic of Armenia and, in fact, there were no civil clashes," - he  said, emphasizing that the NSS, in its turn, also contributed to it.

In this regard, according to Pashinyan, salaries, payments, monetary  satisfaction in the bodies responsible for statehood, independence,  sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the country do not  correspond to the tasks that are assigned to them. "I am not saying  that now we should solve all these problems in one action, but we  must fix all this in order to be able to organize our work correctly.  Especially now, when, in fact, a new situation is developing in the  region, when the Armenian government has declared opening an era of  peaceful development for the region, which means that in this new  environment, the tasks set for the NSS will become much more  difficult, "he said. as the prime minister pointed out The task, , is  difficult, but after the meetings in Sochi and in Brussels, Pashinyan  sees an opportunity to move in this direction step by step.

Nikol Pashinyan also touched upon the statements on the possibilities  of resolving the Karabakh conflict, since "the topic has been  repeatedly discussed and will be discussed for a long time, maybe  even centuries." "When it is said that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict  could and should have been resolved in this way. Then why didn't they  solve it? The Republic of Armenia has been involved in the process  for a very long time, more than 20 years. We constantly heard  political statements, but when we got access to the content of the  negotiations, we saw that in many cases the political statements made  in Armenia have nothing to do with the content that was formed at the  negotiating table. We do not want to follow the same path, "Pashinyan  said.

According to him, one should speak within the framework of the same  content at closed consultations, in public statements and at the  negotiating table. At the same time, he admits that these discussions  cannot be completely identical, since any conversation on the topic  of security contains a certain element of secrecy.  The policy of the  authorities, as the head of government assured, is as follows: both  within the country and abroad say the same thing, since because of  this, you can then fall into various traps.
