Government of Artsakh
Government of the Republic of Artsakh (Armenian: Արցախի Հանրապետության Կառավարություն) is the executive branch of the government of the Republic of Artsakh. The executive council of government ministers is headed by the President of Artsakh. The 2017 constitutional referendum approved the transformation of the government into a presidential system; the office of the Prime Minister was thereby abolished.
