The Government of the Republic of Artsakh (Armenian: Արցախի Հանրապետության Կառավարություն) is the governing authority of the Republic of Artsakh, a once de-facto state, which is now a government-in-exile headed in Yerevan.[1][2]
Leaders
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.
