ArmInfo. The militia system in Armenia will be replaced by local self-defense forces. The National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia discussed amendments to the Law "On Defense" and a package of related acts submitted by the Government of the Republic of Armenia at a meeting on January 21. Under the legislative changes, the territorial structures of the militia will be dissolved, and militia members will have the option to voluntarily transfer to local self-defense systems. Recruitment into the local forces may also include individuals who have reached the age limit for conscription into the armed forces reserve.
