Changes to the Vacation Periods for Mandatory Military Servicemen

The Minister of Defense, Suren Papikyan, announced today during an extraordinary session of the National Assembly about the legislative amendments that have been adopted. "From now on, military personnel performing combat duty in designated units, by the order of the Minister of Defense, will receive a vacation of 30 days, while personnel in other units will receive a vacation of 21 days, distributed evenly throughout their service duration.

The extension of the vacation period will also apply to those currently undergoing mandatory military service, with the positive difference equal to the vacation period already granted and the additional period awarded.
