My Step lawmaker Hayk Sargsyan comes up with legislative initiative offering soldiers pay 10 million AMD and serve for a month
My Step faction lawmaker Hayk Sargsyan has come up with legislative initiative.
In particular, Sargsyan offers amendments in the laws on Accelerated military service, Military service and status of serviceman and in Armenia’s criminal legislature.
He said the initiative is aimed at preventing the wish of the citizens to emigrate, promote immigration by offering alternative military service opportunities which will allow the citizens to free from mandatory service by serving just one month.
Under the initiative the lawmaker offers to pay 10 million AMD to the state budget and serve for a month. During that period the serviceman will learn all the rules and skills, will be registered in a concrete military unit, will be obliged to attend the military gatherings.
Sargsyan noted that such service acts in Turkey (21 days) and in Kazhakhstan (35 days).
If after one month the soldier expresses wish to continue the military service he may get the paid sum back and serve for another 23 months.
