Armenia is no longer sending fixed-term servicemen to Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). The winter military call-up has actually been launched, and as Sputnik Armenia was told, citizens of Armenia subject to military call-up will only serve at the military units located in the territory of Armenia.
Sputnik Armenia also succeeded in finding out that the military units in Artsakh aren’t indicated in the options during the draw for military units.
Earlier, there was news in the presses and on social networks about the disintegration of the Defense Army of Artsakh. Later, Secretary of the Security Council of Artsakh Vitaly Balasanyan declared that Artsakh’s state bodies are currently dealing with the issue of forming professional units on contractual grounds. Afterwards, President of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan made a statement refuting the news about the dissolution of the Defense Army.
