"The Ministry of Defense has put a draft law in E-Draft.am, which proposes to reduce compulsory military service to 24 months and set 18 months. In case of adoption, the change will come into force on June 1, 2026 and will not apply to those who are already serving in the army at that moment. However, this step is considered not only as army reform, but also as a political calculation.
According to Zhoghovurd daily, the CP sources report that there are concerns during the discussion in the ruling party, "It is possible to" keep an army with only 1.5 years. " During the discussion, the answer, however, was quite a romance. "Now it is necessary to make 1.5 years, then, if problems arise, we will raise up to 2.5 years. What problem, power is completely in our hands? "We are not new to us. It was the same manuscript during the price of transport.
At first, the price would rise up to 300 drams, then as if they were retreated, but the reduction of the military service could be considered by a new pre-election tool. Everything is built in the context of pre-election logic. The military budget is not added, but the rest of the costs that can be provided will be provided in the maximum possible way.
Zhoghovurd daily asked questions about all this and commented on the NA MP Arusyak Manasakan, whether the 1.5-year service is a long-term plan, and whether it is planned to increase pensions in the pre-election year. Arusyak Manazyan, in response to our questions, conveyed. "It simply came to our notice then. From June 1 to 1,56 to 1.5 years, military service will be 1.5 years, and that change will be long-term, there is no intention to make it short. "
