Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan denies he is planning to resign

Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Minister of State Ruben Vardanyan has dismissed rumors that he plans to resign.

“I'm not going to resign, especially during this crisis,” he said in a tweet on Sunday.

“The possible resignation of the President or the dissolvement of the Parliament are also unacceptable. We must convene all our efforts to overcome this horrible situation. We must preserve Artsakh & we have that chance today!” Vardanyan stressed.

Vardanyan took office on 4 November 2022, two months after renouncing his Russian citizenship and moving to Artsakh.
