Turning police into ministry to mean politicizing the institution: Armenia’s PM
The state bodies must be under the parliamentary control, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told the reporters today, referring to the issue on turning the NSS and the police into ministry.
“It does not mean that the way to it is turning them into ministry. To have a ministry in case of police means that the head of the structure must be a political figure which will mean that the force institutions will be politicized,” he said.
At the same time Pashinyan said he agrees that the government-affiliated bodies must be under the parliament’s control.
Speaking about combining the ministries, the PM said that they are trying to bring this process into life without any shocks.
