The Security Council of Armenia (Armenian: Անվտանգության խորհուրդ, romanized: Anvtangut’yan khorhurd) is the highest decision-making defence and law enforcement body in the Republic of Armenia. The office of the Security Council is located on 24 Marshal Baghramyan Avenue in Yerevan.[1]

History

Armen Grigoryan, the current Secretary of the Council.

On 22 November 1991, President Levon Ter-Petrosyan appointed Ashot Manucharyan as Senior Advisor to the President on national security. On 13 December 1991, the National Security Council (NSC) attached to the Presidency was founded by decree. Following the 2005 constitutional amendments, article 55 of the Constitution of Armenia foresaw the formation of the Armenian NSC attached to the Presidency and having a consultative status. On 29 February 2008, Artur Baghdasaryan announced that he had accepted the post of Secretary of the National Security Council as part of a planned coalition government with then President-elect Serzh Sargsyan.[2][3] The post of Secretary of the National Security Council was previously considered to be primarily ceremonial, with the council seldom meeting. With the election of Prime Minister Sargsyan to the presidency, with Sargsyan himself having formerly headed the council, the council became more active, giving newly appointed Secretary Baghdasaryan the opportunity "to get fully involved in the governance of our country."[2] On 7 March 2018, the National Assembly adopted the law "About the Formation of the SC and Its Activity".[4]
