Suren Papikyan does not rule out that Armenian citizens arriving from  Russia for elections may be  given summonses for military training  camps 

ArmInfo.  Armenian Defense Minister Suren Papikyan has not ruled out the possibility that Armenian citizens arriving from Russia to participate in the upcoming elections could be served summonses for mandatory military training camps.

"How can I rule that out? Does an Armenian citizen who has arrived  from Russia and is liable for military service have no obligations to  the Fatherland? Naturally, I cannot rule this out," Papikyan stated  during a conversation with journalists.

When asked whether citizens arriving from France or the United States  would also be sent to the training camps, the Minister assured that  this requirement applies  to all citizens liable for military  service.  At the same time, the Minister refuted reports claiming  that notifications for the training camps are being served directly  at border checkpoints. "There is an established procedure for serving  summons. Notification is generally carried out in accordance with  this standard protocol They can't give a summons to anyone at the  airport," Papikyan said.
