Modern.az reports, citing Armenian media, that the “Hraparak” newspaper published this information.
According to the newspaper's sources, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has not dismissed the current Minister of Defense Suren Papikyan. The reason for this is that a suitable candidate for his replacement has not yet been identified.
