“ALTERNATIVE SERVICE MUST NOT BE LIKE AN EASY GAME”
Support A1+!“One must not suppose that alternative service must be easy like a game. From the very beginning we wanted it to replace the hard service of those who serve with weapon”, said NA Deputy President commenting on the latest protest of lawyers about alternative service.
Let us remind you that the Law was adopted within COE framework and today 24 young people are in alternative service. Co-author of the Law Vaham Hovhannisyan does not understand why the servers protest, “Those who choose alternative service complain of the fact that the country makes them serve one way or the other. They did not want to serve, and whatever the country offered them, they would complain”.
On the whole, according to Vahan Hovhannisyan, the law has justified itself, “The fear that young people would become members of sects in order to serve in alternative service, fortunately did not come true”.
