Military Service in Violation of the Established Order" were held in
the Standing parliamentary Commission on Defense, National Security
and Internal Affairs.

afore-indicated law which was first passed in 2003 and took effect
in March, 2004. However, as deputy Defense Minister of Armenia Ara

the validity of the law.
He said 72 sessions of the Republican Commission were held from March,
2004 to December 12, 2008, during which 445 cases were heard. Total
of 4002 decisions were made and the law-fixed amounts were paid on
them. 'According to the data of December, 2008, the paid amount for
violation of the Law 'On citizens having not done compulsory military
service in violation of established order' makes up 2 bln 703 mln 156
thsd drams', A. Nazaryan said. The deputy DM expressed confidence
that in the number of those who evade compulsory military service
will increase in case of extending the law validity. 'The Chief
commissar of Armenia said in his report that the payments grew by 1
bln drams during a year. It is necessary to thoroughly think over,
weigh and then make an optimal decision', A. Nazaryan advised. The
law says the itizens who did not made a compulsory military service,
from the date of non-appearance to the call-up till the age of 27,
may pay and, thus, escape criminal responsibility for avoidance of a
compulsory military service. According to the law, the payments make
up 100-fold size of the minimum salary.
