/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.
