168 Hours: Is Vanetsyan Entering Politics?
The newspaper "168 Hours" reports: The head of the National Security Service (NSS), Arthur Vanetsyan, has announced his resignation, in which he directed serious accusations at Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. During a press conference, Pashinyan refused to comment on Vanetsyan's statement, stating that he is used to discussing things he has read.
It was evident that Pashinyan was taken by surprise to learn about Vanetsyan's announcement during the press conference, especially since it contained serious allegations. In response to Pashinyan's "Take a Step" campaign, Vanetsyan essentially retorts, "Hold Back." What dangers does he foresee for the country, and what is the implication of the most informed official in the country's power sector, who is undoubtedly aware of all the information regarding Pashinyan's past and present?
What demands were placed before him that led Vanetsyan to decline to comply, citing "the honor of a soldier" and submitting his resignation? The government, particularly the Soros-aligned faction, has activated to generate opinions against Vanetsyan. Meanwhile, Pashinyan's press secretary, Vladimir Karapetyan, commenting on Vanetsyan's resignation, said, "We need to clarify who wrote the text attributed to A. Vanetsyan. We hope the author is not one of those corrupt individuals who have 'mysteriously' avoided criminal liability through PR offices." He urged General Vanetsyan not to lose the dignity of a soldier he refers to.
In other words, the authorities are once again attempting to link the incident to the previous government, trying to obscure or frame the sharp criticisms that are directed at them by an official they appointed themselves as issues of revenge. Interestingly, the topic of A. Vanetsyan's resignation is actively discussed online, and surprisingly, there is a dominating number of supporters for Vanetsyan.
It should be noted that various sociological surveys, commissioned by the government itself, indicate that Vanetsyan is the highest-rated state official. He surpasses even revolutionary Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in terms of his rating.
Anyway, with his resignation and the subsequent political statement, Arthur Vanetsyan seems to hint at plans to enter the political arena. His announcement, which can also be indirectly viewed as a call-warning directed at the military ranks, may indeed initiate serious processes. Who will be the next to submit their resignation?
