The Helsinki Citizens' Assembly Vanadzor Office issued a statement
expressing its concerns about conscripts with health problems.
On December 14, 2012, the parent of conscript G. Veranyan turned to the
office with their problem. The office applied to Armenia's Ministry of
Health, calling the Ministry's attention to the issue. The Ministry
of Defense is still examining the written application. The conscript
has been summoned to the Vanadzor military enlistment office for
several days now. However, his parents disagree with the results of
the medical examination.
G. Veranyan has had serious health problems since childhood. His
health aggravates in the mornings when he wakes up from sleep.
Veranyan has heart problems, which become acute in wintertime. He
has fainted several times. The parents claim that their son cannot
take medicine because of health problems.
G. Veranyan has been on deferment because his health problems and
has not received medical treatment in the past six months. Nor has
his health condition changed at the reporting period.
The Helsinki Citizens' Assembly Vanadzor Office has repeatedly said
that conscripts and their parents are unable to appeal the results of
medical examinations although the Office has warned continually that
these conscripts mainly pass their military service at hospital or
medical centers. Moreover, the unhealthy conscripts are not properly
treated, which causes even more serious problems.
The Office demands that the Ministry of Defense ensure complex and
unbiased medical re-examination of conscripts with health problems.
Otherwise, the Ministry will shoulder full responsibility for their
further health problems.
