Is Simonyan set to lose his position?

Armenia’s draft new Constitution reportedly envisages the abolition of the post of Secretary of the Security Council.

According to TodayPress TV Armenian media reported this. Mariam Melkumyan, spokesperson for Armenia’s Ministry of Justice, confirmed the information in response to an inquiry from the publication. Other sources also corroborated the report.

If the new Constitution is adopted, Alen Simonyan, who currently holds the position of Secretary of the Security Council, could be forced to leave the post.

It should be noted that Simonyan previously served as Speaker of the Armenian Parliament before being appointed Secretary of the Security Council.

According to the report, Simonyan has also said in private conversations that he intends to run for mayor of Yerevan in the 2028 elections. However, information about his possible candidacy has not been officially confirmed.
