Official: Armenia to no longer deploy troops to KarabakhJuly 19, 2022 - 12:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan says that conscripts from Armenia will no longer be deployed to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) for military service. According to him, the process is nearing completion and will end in September. Grigoryan added that conscripts in Artsakh will continue being drafted for military service in the Artsakh Defense Army, Armenpress reports. "During the war, a number of units from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia went to help the Defense Army of Nagorno-Karabakh. After the establishment of the ceasefire and the deployment of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation, the withdrawal of the units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh is logical," Grigoryan said. The Secretary maintained that Nagorno-Karabakh won't be left without protection as the Defense Army will continue to ensure the security of the country.
