Armenia`s Ombudsperson may appeal to Constitutional Court if  bill on  military service buyout does not address their submitted comments 

ArmInfo.  I find the social stratification in the country, which may be related, among other things, to constitutional obligations, to be unacceptable. This is  the viewpoint of Ombudsperson Anahit Manasyan's on the draft law  regarding the buyout of military service, proposed by ruling Civil  Contract faction MP Hayk Sargsyan and approved by the government. She  made this comment during a briefing at the request of journalists. 

Manasyan emphasized that introducing legal mechanisms that give the  impression that people of a certain financial status can avoid  fulfilling their obligations is unacceptable. According to her,  such  issues should not be resolved based on financial resources.

The human rights activist also pointed out that hazing is common in  the Armenian Armed Forces, and such decisions will only worsen the  situation. In this regard, the Ombudsman noted that the risks were  not properly assessed when drafting the bill.

According to Manasyan, this draft law was not submitted to the  Ombudsman's Office before being adopted.  "If I consider that the  draft does not solve the issues I see, I will appeal to the  Constitutional Court. But for now, I hope that my colleagues will  take into account all the comments we have submitted," she said.
