“National Assembly Continues Agenda with Amendments to Military Service Law and Civil Conscription Agreement Draft”
The National Assembly discussed amendments to the Law on Military Service and the Status of Servicemen. If accepted, individuals aged 27 or more, exempted from military service, can serve through unpaid work or by paying a fee. Failure to serve necessitates a payment of 15 million drams. The draft also allows those who haven’t completed the 27-year military service requirement to serve and be exempted. The government must review existing provisions. Exemptions from service should also apply to those serving in other countries.
