Civil Contract nominates Gabrielyan to chair defense and security committee

The Civil Contract faction has nominated MP Vilen Gabrielyan to chair the parliamentary committee on defense and security affairs.

“The committee’s work concerns protecting the sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia, the stability of state institutions, the security of citizens, and building confidence in the country’s future,” Gabrielyan said in his speech, thanking his colleagues for the nomination.

“This responsibility requires quality legislation, consistent oversight, professional engagement, and the ability to bring people together around the national interest,” he said.

“The committee should become a parliamentary platform where the experience of state bodies, the knowledge of the professional community, the potential of the technological and private sectors, and key public concerns are brought together. The committee’s work should be built on three interconnected pillars: high-quality legislative work, effective parliamentary oversight, and professional and institutional development,” Gabrielyan added.
