ArmInfo. The hype raised by the residents of Javakhk, who also have Armenian citizenship, regarding the fact that when crossing the RA border they are called into the Armenian army, is artificial.
The head of the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia Artur Vanetsyan assured this in an interview with journalists. According to him, this problem does not exist. "The residents of Javakhk, who also have Armenian citizenship, must themselves choose where to serve in Armenia or Georgia. And if they have already served in the army in Georgia, no one in Armenia will call for them in the army", Vanetsyan assured.
To note, earlier media reported that more than 5,000 young people from Javakhk who work in the Russian Federation cannot return to their homeland on the eve of the New Year, because they are detained at the entrance of Armenia and demand that they go to serve in the army otherwise, they will face five years in prison.
