David Tonoyan on Rumors of His Resignation

There is no such thing. This was stated today by Defense Minister David Tonoyan during a press conference with reporters in the National Assembly, responding to rumors about his resignation. “There is no such thing, we have not had any discussions regarding that,” Tonoyan said.

Tonoyan did not comment on Arthur Vanetsyan's resignation from the position of NSS director, saying, “I cannot comment because that was an individual decision. I also cannot comment on the text because that is within his authority; Mr. Vanetsyan will do so in due time.”

Regarding news about Police Chief Valery Osipyan's resignation, Tonoyan stated, “I am not aware, and I deny any discussions in the National Security Council on that topic. I have no disagreement with Nikol Pashinyan.”
