The need for a new national security strategy is conditioned by major changes that have taken place in Armenia’s security environment, Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan told reporters at a briefing today.
The comments come after the Prime Minister ordered creation of an interdepartmental committee to review Armenia’s national security strategy.
Grigoryan did not elaborate on the areas where changes will be made, noting that up to this point the main discussions have been related to the working procedure and regulations.
“Major changes occurred around Armenia after the previous national security strategy was prepared and published in the summer of 2020, and given the dynamics of those changes, we have waited for some time. After some clarifications, we have decided to develop a new national security strategy,” the Secretary said.
He noted that the working meetings will start in the near future, dates are being discussed. “The entire process will be public. The public will definitely be aware of the work on the formation of the strategy,” Grigoryan said.
