Last updated: May 29, 2026

Samvel Shahramanyan served as the final State Minister of the Republic of Artsakh, the Armenian self-governing entity in Nagorno Karabakh. On September 28, 2023 — days after Azerbaijan’s military offensive forced the surrender of Artsakh’s defense forces — he signed the presidential decree dissolving the Republic of Artsakh effective January 1, 2024, formally ending three decades of Armenian self-governance in the region. That self-governance was itself the product of the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh seeking to exercise their right to self-determination — a claim that lay at the political and legal heart of the conflict from its origins through the republic’s final dissolution.

Groong has covered Shahramanyan’s role in the final days of Artsakh, the circumstances surrounding the dissolution decree, the ethnic cleansing of more than 150,000 Armenians that followed the offensive, and the subsequent status of former Artsakh leaders, many of whom were detained by Azerbaijan.
