There is an opinion that the resignation of Armenian Defense Minister is directly related to the situation on the border with Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani Armed Forces invaded the sovereign territory of Armenia from positions to the east. As a result, four combat positions of the Armenian Armed Forces found themselves in the blockade. The events took place on November 14th. As a result of negotiations mediated by the Russian side, Azerbaijani servicemen and armored vehicles were withdrawn from the territory of Armenia. However, the Armenian units also left their four positions.

The Security Council of Armenia informed the residents of the country about the incident only the next day, on November 15. This message was immediately followed by the resignation of Defense Minister Arshak Karapetyan. By the decision of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, his associate, former Deputy Prime Minister Suren Papikyan, has already been appointed to the post.
