Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan does not think he should resign because of the recent incident in the Armenian armed forces, Deputy Head of the Information Department at the RA Defense Ministry Felix Poghosyan told NEWS.am. Following this logic, ministers should resign very often, he added. According to him, the Minister himself labeled the incident as very serious. “But if you want to know my opinion, I think that the Minister should not resign,” Poghosyan stated.

Asked whether Seyran Ohanyan is aware of the fact that society demands his resignation, Defense Ministry official noted that it refers only to a group of people. “A group does not mean society,” he noted.

However, Poghosyan failed to answer whether the Minister will resign if the entire society demands his resignation, adding “I do not think that the Minster should resign if some people demand that he should do it.”

The issue on Seyran Ohanyan’s resignation has become topical as a result of the recent incidents in the Armenian army, causing deaths of 7 servicemen.
