The post of Armenia’s foreign minister will likely remain vacant at least until the parliamentary elections scheduled for June 20, a government spokesperson said on Tuesday.
Its last holder, Ara Ayvazian, stepped down on May 27 following an emergency meeting of the country’s Security Council which discussed mounting tensions on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
Ayvazian was formally relieved of his duties on Monday hours after addressing the Armenian Foreign Ministry staff at a farewell meeting. The outgoing foreign minister hinted that he decided to quit because of disagreeing with government decisions which he believes could put the country’s sovereignty and national security at risk. He did not go into details.
