30 per cent of Armenian army contract soldiers

PanARMENIAN.Net - Contract soldiers, whose salary fluctuates between 75 000 and 160 000 AMD, make 30 per cent of the Armenian army personnel and the figure tends to increase, said the chairperson of the Union of Soldiers' Mothers.



Greta Mirzoyan also emphasized that draftees do not experience problems with food and uniform. "We have conducted monitoring and received encouraging results," she said.



Meanwhile, she pointed out to lack of specialization as the main problem of ex-servicemen.



In discussing the bill on compulsory call-up, Mrs. Mirzoyan said she doesn't support the legislation. "I am a teacher myself and I do know that majority of my students want to serve after graduation," she said.
