CALL-UP IS AN EVENT OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE

THE HEALTH PROBLEMS – UNDER THE MAGNIFYING GLASS

Interview with military commissar of the Republic of Armenia, Colonel Henrik Mouradian

On October 27, RA President Serzh Sargsyan signed a decree on 2015 winter conscription and dismissal.

– This call-up is already the 45th in the life of our state. Year by year, the requirements of the call-up become more clear and stringent. During this call-up, we’ll consider the health issues very strictly to permanently exclude cases of recruitment of boys with health problems. As is said, this issue will be under a magnifying glass. In the regional military enlistment offices a great attention will be paid to the work with relatives of recruits, everyone will be informed of the law “On Military Duty”.

I state with full responsibility that the army leadership directed and will direct all its instruments to conduct the call-up with the strictest observance of justice and legality.

By the way, for the first time in the history of conscription, on the initiative of regional military offices before the call-up the conscripts will visit Tsitsernakaberd Memorial, Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide, Matenadaran – Institute of Ancient Manuscripts after Mesrop Mashtots, Sardarapat complex, Museum “Mother Armenia”, Museum of History of Armenia.

Organization and carrying out of recruitment first of all is an event of national importance, the aim of which is to staff by 100% the armed forces, security forces and internal troops of RA.
