Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly-Vanadzor

According to the decision of the RA Government, compulsory military and alternative services summer conscription of rank and file was announced from April 29 to July 31, 2024, inclusive. 

As of July 17, 35 conscripts have applied to the HCA Vanadzor for getting legal support. Of these, the 91% problems of 32 conscripts referred to the non-proper medical examination of their health status, disagreement with the medical report, and the clarification of the issue of fitness for military service with existing health problems in accordance with the list of diseases that determine the degree of fitness of a citizen for military service defined by the RA Government Decree No. 404 of 2018. The others received consultation regarding the grounds for deferment or exemption from military service as defined by the RA Law on “Military Service and the Status of Military Personnel.”

Though the summer conscription of 2024 still continues, we have already recorded several legal and procedural issues during the conscription process, which we also recorded during the previous winter conscription of 2023. 

During the summer conscription of 2024, the recorded problems are presented in the original document https://hcav.am/call-hcav-22-07-2024/
