ArmInfo. The income of  militiamen serving on the front lines has decreased not because of  salary cuts, but because of the exclusion of combat allowances.  ArmInfo was told about this by sources in the security forces  familiar with the situation.

Earlier, journalist Voskan Sargsyan reported on his Facebook page  that the salaries of militiamen serving in combat positions have been  reduced.

"For half a month, militiamen serving in dangerous positions on the  border received 180,000 drams per month.

Their salaries were reduced by 60,000 drams, so some of the  militiamen quit the service," the journalist noted.

ArmInfo sources in security circles familiar with the situation  explained the situation, noting that the payments were reduced due to  the exclusion of combat allowances. "According to the procedure, a  militiaman's salary is 120 thousand plus certain allowances for  assigned tasks. In conditions when a militiaman is not assigned a  task, he receives his regular salary, without any allowances," the  source noted.
