The Ministry of Defense of Armenia proposes introducing shorter compulsory military service for a $60.000 fee

The Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Armenia proposes to discharge early the rank-and-file soldiers from compulsory military service after completing their training phase—average: 4.5 months—of the compulsory military service—and on the condition that the given serviceman pays 24 million drams (approx. $60 thousand) to the state budget.

The respective draft law on amendments and addenda to the Law on Military Service and the Status of Servicemen has been put up for public debate by the MOD on the website for the publicizing of draft legal acts.
