Armenian President Armen Sarkissian has signed a decree, relieving Argishti Kyaramyan from the post of the Director of the National Security Service.
According to another presidential decree, Mikael Hambartsumyan will temporarily head the structure.
The President has signed the decrees based on the Prime Minister’s proposal.
The 29-year-old Kyaramyan worked in the position for only four months. Local observers associated his appointment with the need to purge pro-Russian-minded cadres.
It is noteworthy that the dismissal took place during the period of a large-scale war. This can be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the failure of the Armenian special services or a gesture to Moscow.
