In a recent statement at the Armenian Forum for Democracy, Armen Grigoryan, the Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia, emphasized the harmonious relationship between democracy and security. Grigoryan dismissed the idea of a contrast between the two, asserting that democratic systems provide stability and safety.
Grigoryan highlighted the role of democratic government in ensuring stability through elections and public perception. He also mentioned the significance of democracy in protecting sovereignty, citing Armenia’s resilience during the pressures faced after the 2020 war.
Since 2018, the Security Council of Armenia has been working on broadening the understanding of security concepts. Grigoryan’s insights shed light on the importance of democracy in safeguarding a nation’s sovereignty in times of crisis.
