ArmInfo. Students of the Yerevan State University organized a strike on the morning of November 7, protesting against the bill to cancel the postponement of compulsory military service.
The participants of the protest action believe that the adoption of this law will seriously damage the system and the quality of education.
It should be noted that the Defense Ministry of Armenia has developed a bill on the abolition of the deferment from compulsory military service for all categories of young people, except for those who have health problems incompatible with service in the army.
Both the Minister of Defense Vigen Sargsyan and the Minister of Education and Science Levon Mkrtchyan do not believe that the adoption of this bill will strike the country's education system. The ministers say that nothing glaring can happen if conscripts enter higher education after serving in the army.
