State Minister of Artsakh

The State Minister of Artsakh is a political post in the government-in-exile of the once de facto Republic of Artsakh.

The position was introduced after constitutional amendments, which were approved in a constitutional referendum in 2017, and after the Prime Minister of Artsakh post was abolished.

Following the Azerbaijani offensive on 19 September 2023, Artsakh agreed to dissolve itself by 1 January 2024,[1] however instead of dissolving, they established a government-in-exile in Yerevan, Armenia.

[2] The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, has since severely opposed the government-in-exile's existence in Armenia.

[3][4] The current State Minister is Artur Harutyunyan.
