ArmInfo. The Defense Ministry must consider all possible conscription
scenarios, ex deputy defense minister, chairman of the standing
parliamentary committee on defense, national security and internal
affairs Artur Agabekyan said when asked to comment on the possibility
of conscription of all 18-year-old youths.
The Ministry must reconsider this scenario. It is not the best
solution.
"Our army needs educated people. If it consists of 18-year-olds only it
will not be efficient enough as educated people are its key strength,"
Agabekyan said.
