The Government Acknowledges Political Parties' Proposal, Says Prime Minister's Spokesperson
The Armenian government has acknowledged the proposal put forth by political parties and will issue a statement as necessary. This was stated by the Prime Minister's spokesperson Mane Gevorgyan in an interview with Factor.am, responding to the demands of extra-parliamentary forces to urgently create a special state body for the operational management of defense and security issues.
Previously, 16 political parties in Armenia had issued a joint statement, requesting the government to take the following actions:
- Urgently create a special state body for the operational management of defense and security issues, empowered to make decisions, plan, and coordinate operational actions.
- Involve former and current presidents, prime ministers, defense and foreign ministers, and other individuals with military and political expertise to effectively organize the defense of the homeland.
