No matter who heads NSS its task will not change, member of Coordination Committee of New Armenia Movement Jirayr Sefilyan stated during public discussions held on Liberty Square on February 12.
We have witnessed for many years how an agency headed by Gorik Hakobyan was serving to Serzh Sargsyan's power. Consequently, I do not pay any importance to the issue, who will head this agency from now on", he noted.
To note, according to Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan's decree, Georgi Kutoyan was appointed Director of the National Security Service. Gorik Hakobyan's powers as the NSS head expired on Feb 11. According to the Armenian Constitution, the NSS head must be under 70.
