While the term “national security” has evolved over the years encompassing more and more layers of security, its basic definition remains a national security umbrella for the national efforts to ensure that the nation is safe, secure, and resilient against ANY kind of threat or source of threat allowing the nation to protect its vital interests, aspirations, and the hope for the future. National security is a national effort to prevent ALL kind of attacks against Armenia, reduce the vulnerability of Armenia to various risks, dangers and threats, and minimize the damage from attacks that do occur.
