At the end of July, we covered the National Security Service, where the newly appointed head of the system, Andranik Simonyan, had begun a “big purge” and had dismissed a large number of employees. We were told that the dismissals not only did not stop, but were also massive: the number of those being dismissed had tripled, even quadrupled.
The thing is that Pashinyan's "favorite" Simonyan, despite having worked in the NSS for the past 4 years and knowing everyone, has decided to identify and remove all "suspicious" people from the system. He has issued an order to dig into everyone's biographies, connections, and identify all those who have even very distant connections with their exes.
And they began to study the seven portals, friendship circles, distant family ties of every NSS employee and remove them from the system without any explanation. At the end of the working day, people were called to their superiors, told to hand in their work certificates and go home - they were being transferred to the personnel reserve.
According to our source, nothing was said about the reasons for the dismissal and their future fate, and the employees did not dare to inquire, fearing that excessive curiosity could bring trouble on themselves. They could be deprived of their jobs or be subject to persecution. Simonyan, naturally, coordinated the process of cleansing the system of “undesirables” with Pashinyan.
