Service
RA NSS
The National Security Service of Armenia conducts counterintelligence operations, identifies and prevents threats to national security, and ensures the protection of state interests. It also contributes to information and cyber security, border and migration control, and supports public and military security measures.
History
The history of the Armenian security authorities is inextricably linked with the history of our people that go deep into the millennia. The studies indicate that even during the Urartu period (IX-VII centuries B.C.) intelligence and counterintelligence activity was put on state bases and was one of the directions of state activity. In ancient and medieval Armenia, security matters were handled by both entire state bodies (ministries, agencies) and individual state officials. The protection of military and other secrets was in the centre of attention as well.
