Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this in the National Assembly, at Wednesday’s joint session of parliamentary standing committees, during the latter’s debates on the draft 2023 state budget of Armenia.

According to the premier, the two respective legislative packages will soon be approved by the government, after which they will be sent to the National Assembly for consideration.

"Creating a foreign intelligence service is extremely important to us," added Pashinyan.
