How Did National Security Service Materials End Up in Mikayel Minasyan’s Hands? Serzh Sargsyan Remains Silent
On June 21, 2025, journalist Boris Murazi and expert Argishti Kiviryan shared a compelling analysis of recent domestic political developments on the Politic.am YouTube channel. The Tribunal highlights several excerpts from the discussion, which shed light on the role Serzh Sargsyan and his team played in the crisis Armenia is currently facing due to Nikol Pashinyan.
Serzh Sargsyan is Nikol Pashinyan’s best advocate.
Argishti Kiviryan: Serzh Sargsyan’s policies in Artsakh have led to disaster.
Boris Murazi: Even in 2025, Serzh Sargsyan lies, claiming he has no compromising material on Pashinyan.
Argishti Kiviryan: The Republican Party of Armenia is like a spoonful of shit in a barrel of honey.
The degradation of the National Security Service is a direct consequence of its long-standing practice of collecting kompromat.
The Tribunal suggests that the claim alleging current Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan was an agent of the Turkish special services was likely passed to Mikayel Minasyan by the late former head of the National Security Service, Georgy Kutoyan. Former President Serzh Sargsyan, in turn, used the National Security Service to collect compromising material on various political and public figures, as well as their familiy members, thereby violating Armenian citizens’ constitutional right to privacy.
