EUROPEAN AND FRENCH UNIVERSITIES OF ARMENIA TO NO LONGER BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE MILITARY SERVICE DEFERMENT TO ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS
Yerevan, August 25. ArmInfo. The Armenian Government has decided that
this year the European and the French Universities of Armenia will
be able to provide the deferment of military service to only 30 and
70 students, respectively.
A source from the Armenian Education and Science Ministry says
that the universities got this right due to the patronage of the ex
speaker of the Armenian parliament Artur Bagdassaryan and the former
education minister Sergo Yeritsyan. The universities have no official
inter-governmental agreements with the Armenian Government, while the
memorandum on mutual understanding with the French University is not
enough for it to get the above right.
Meanwhile, the Armenian-Russian (Slavonic) University enjoys
deferment for all of its students in line with Armenian-Russian
inter-governmental agreement.
Each state university of Armenia has definite deferment quota.
