In order to ensure the attractiveness of filling the military units performing combat tasks in the armed forces with persons who have military service and relevant professional abilities, but who have been demobilized from military service and are receiving military pension for long service, it is necessary to define legal mechanisms as soon as possible.
In particular, according to the new draft of the "Law on Military Servicemen" proposed by KP MPs Armen Khachatryan and Andranik Kocharyan, it is proposed not to suspend the right to military pension in case of contract service in the mentioned military units.
In addition, the right to maintain a pension is preserved in case of appointment to a military post with the classification of "lieutenant colonel". After that, upon the decision of the Ministry of Defense, the right to receive a pension ceases in case of service in another military unit.
The Ministry of Defense defines the list and terms of the military units. The aim of the project is to promote the process of filling middle and lower military positions. and at the moment they did not receive a pension, but only a salary, Khachatryan replied that he did not have such statistical data.
"But I think that number, even if there is, will be low. Due to state secrets, I don't want to publish the number of officers in the reserve force today, but the number of officers in the reserve force who have not reached the age limit is quite large and they can continue their service.
Sargsyan summed up that the essence of the project is that when a long-serving officer is discharged at the age of 38-40 years and goes into service, you tell him not to retire, or if he retired, to return and you will receive both your pension and salary.
