Armenian Minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan said that the Ministry is not going to shorten compulsory military service from two to one year or prolong it.

He also said that no special program envisaging a shorter term for representatives of Diaspora has been developed.

“Meanwhile, I want to note that at each draft about 500 Armenian citizens come to Armenia from abroad, particularly from southern Russia to serve for motherland,” Ohanyan said, adding that changes regarding this issue should be made within the framework of the operating law without reservations.
