/PanARMENIAN.Net/ At today's news conference in Yerevan, Head of RA
parliamentary committee for defense, national security and internal
affairs, Hrayr Karapetyan briefed the journalists on defense-related
draft laws discussed at RA NA. " Comments were already voiced on
3 draft laws submitted: "On additions to military service law"," On
usage of transportation for defense purposes" and "On local autonomous
bodies' mobilization for defense purposes". We have to understand
these 3 draft laws are logically connected," Hrayr Karapetyan said.
"According to draft law, RA MFA, jointly with diplomatic
representations of Armenia, have to work towards getting those Armenian
citizens, residing abroad who've not been on military service, to
serve in RA armed forces." He also reported that the age of contract
soldiers is extended till 45. "This will help to replenish Armenian
Armed Forces with contract soldiers, and improve Armenian Army's
professionalism," Hrayr Karapetyan noted, adding that there's still
no draft law stipulating for 1-year military service extension.
