During the question-and-answer session in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that he did not think that the details of the change of the Minister of Defense should be publicly discussed. “A minister is appointed according to our mechanisms, at the discretion of the prime minister and is dismissed at the discretion of the prime minister.”

Nikol Pashinyan said that experience shows that political communication and the common political content are very important, and in this case he considers it important that they are representatives of their political team, both in the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense.

The Prime Minister said that it is not possible to give an order not to shoot or not to protect the border regarding the protection of the RA borders.

“It will be a state treason,” he said.
