Committee for State Security of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic information
Soviet KGB intelligence agency
Committee for State Security of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic (Russian:Комитет государственной безопасности Армянской ССР) or KGB of ArSSR was the security agency of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, being the local branch of Committee for State Security of the USSR.[1] It was the principal intelligence agency of Armenia from 1954 to 1991. It was succeeded by the National Security Service after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The KGB in Armenia often provided undercover agents to be stationed inside the Armenian Apostolic Church, due to the church's prevalence in the country.[2] The Armenian KGB fell under the direct control of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Armenia, although the Communist Party of the Soviet Union could take control and also direct its activities.[3][4]
