An Anti-Corruption Reception Centre, which is supported by the OSCE
Office in Yerevan, hosted a presentation today of the latest legal
and procedural developments relating to military conscription.
The event, organized by the non-governmental organization Soldier's
Mother, helped inform potential conscripts--11th grade high school
students--about service in the army, military service waivers and
medical procedures, and the danger of corruption. The Centre has been
in operation since April 2007.
"This is the first in the series of awareness raising events planned
by the Anti-Corruption Reception Centre for this year. We hope such
events will further enhance public outreach and will be of help to
our beneficiaries," said Marc Bojanic, Deputy Head of the OSCE Office.
Greta Mirzoyan, chairperson of Soldier's Mother and an army expert
at the Anti-Corruption Reception Centre, said: "At the Reception
Centre we received around 75 complaints and enquiries related to the
conscription process. That was the reason why we decided to organize
a series of presentations on the relevant procedures and legislation
in the run-up to the spring conscription."
The event featured a contest for participants to demonstrate their
knowledge of the army and conscription-related procedures. Three
winners were awarded prizes.
The OSCE Office in Yerevan supported the establishment of a network
of Anti-Corruption Reception Centres in Yerevan, the Gegharkunik and
Lori provinces. Experts from an anti-corruption coalition of NGOs
provide legal and procedural consultations and assistance to citizens
on corruption-related violations in the army, public education,
healthcare, public services, and on traffic police and drivers'
rights, civil and administrative law.
